It seems to be not dry because of the heat generated by the sanding process, depending on the type of paint it will go to a plastic state from the
heat, did you start with the hand sanding wet, and start with a course grade working down through the grades to a realy fine grade? I reckon thinners
will make a real mess of it that you may find impossible to rescue. Get yourself an old pannel to practice on first.
Hmm, I didn't work through the sanding grades. I was being lazy. I just starting attacking it with the sander.
It makes sense about working through the grades though.

that's not really a paint job....
its a pre-paint job...
but You can drive one looking like that if You like....
and can paint it with clear paint... instead of matt black..
or clear matt paint so it doesn't shine...
