Finishing off a stenciled cab

[smac666]

Hi,

I just finished painting my Defender cab and have removed the stencils. However when I run my hand down the side of the cab I can feel the lip / step where the paint has dried against the edge of the stencil. Its not a big problem but its not perfect and I was wondering if I could do something to fix it. I can think of a few things but don't really want to try them unless I mess up the paintwork.

1) I can sand the edges with a very fine grit sandpaper and then buff the whole cabinet

2) I can just buff the whole thing and try to tone down the edge sharpness.

3) I can sand the whoel cab with fine grit sand paper and then clear coat it.

Not  sure what would be the best way to proceed. Anyone been in a similar situation and found a good solution.

Thanks
Steve

Can you see the lips?  If you can't see it be happy and stop splitting hairs so finely.

Williams cabs should be finished with a couple coats of water based polyurethane..that will smooth out the ridges you feel..  also, if you have very distinct ridges you probably put on a bit too much paint

In the right light you can see the ridges slightly, its not bad but its definetely there.

Ok so I thinking that I show rub it down with some very fine grit sandpaper and giev it a couple of coats of clear poly.

Thanks

Steve,

How did this turn out?  What paint method did you use with the stencils in the first place?
