Ok this is a long process with a very great reward.

Supplies

100 Grit

400 Grit

600 Grit

And all of these colors.

First start with 100 Grit until you have completely removed 90% of texture on complete panel. Looking like this..

Then use Filler primer to fill in all the 100 grit scratchs

Now once your primer is dry use 400 grit lightly to sand the primer smooth.

Now add more Promoter

Once the promoter is dry, start adding your color.

I did 3 coats of color on each peice I did.

Then add your clear coat and your Once textured panel is now smooth and shiny.

Today I also did a few accents.
