A mate painted the bumper for me.Looks a bit orange peel and flat.wet sanded underneath the bumper,g3'd it then polished it and it brought the paint up well but you could see small sand lines in the laquer.

Just want to know do i go up grades in sand paper?
Used 1500

Or do i allow the bumper more time for the paint to cure?

you want to give it at least a few days to fully cure before polishing it
then need to use higher grade wet and dry on it P2000+ finish off with a trizac (P3000) if available before polishing

Was it baked in an oven after spraying? If so, it won't need to be left to cure.

Need to use finer grade wet & dry now to remove the previous marks, then bring back up with a good cutting compound, then refine that.

i personally would leave it a week if it wasent baked at all especially in this weather.

as said just p2000 wet it and g3 it up but if yoru doing it by hand your going to be there a long time.
