    I need to see what I can do to wet sand it all uniform. Since the clear has peeled in different stages its kinda blotchy.

    Attempting to level this out. Starting with some old 1200 wet sandpaper and it seemed too aggressive, I switched over to the 3m burgundy scour pad.

    Not the greatest but a little better. Will probably make one more pass, I want to avoid burning through. I think no matter what its not going to be perfect.

    Went to the junkyard and pulled a fan controller for my electric fan install. Not sure why I bought such a crappy one but I didnt want to leave empty handed. These are even the ones that were recalled so I guess we'll see what happens. These are supposed to be a soft start so they dont hit the electrical system with a ton of amps.
