i used four grades of sandpaper.  starting with 200 just to get the dull off.  then 320 to dig in a bit and grind out the bites of the 200.  then 400 because 400 is what i default to for most prop sanding.  then i jumped to 800 to get it smooth.  i could have gone up to 1000, but i just didn't feel like it.


p.s. here's the strangest tip for wetsanding ever:  i sat in the bath tub, with the shower going, to sand with the 800 grit.


the biggest problem i've run into is that i was a little more rough than i needed to be and got hairline cracks in the corners of the of the visor.  i'm not sure if i want to attempt to repair them topically or if i just want to reinforce the area from the inside with fiberglass.  either way i'm going to glass the inside.  i just don't want to mess up my finish.
