I painted some parts of my '60 ElCamino project yesterday (base/clear) and everything came out real nice with the exception of a couple of tiny flecks of dirt in the roof. I'm wondering which product and which pads are recommended now. It's been a while since I painted anything - that's partly why I'm doing it in pieces, and I'm out of touch with what is best now.
