Thanks for that. I might try this technique out on the what is now spare rear boot tail light. I did experiment with light wet/dry sanding then laquering. The results looked.....shiny but there was some distortion and the laquer gave me the impression that it could be worse very quickly as it didn't seem a very repellent hard surface. Maybe becuase it was a rattle can laquer.

Anyway I might give it a go if I can find some of this G3 stuff you used for a reasonable price

What steps in grit do you recommend?

I always use 600 followed by 800 or 1000 then 1500 and finally a quick going over with 2000
