hey,

been lookin up some threads on this, what is the best way to remove the dimples from the plastic arches and bumpers? i have tried sanding them away which was a lot of effort on one arch! i have also tried doing like 4 coats of heavy build primer to get rid of them!

cheers

I sanded mine, took ages but it paid off after they were painted.
I sanded in the following grade order
120
240
400
800
quick once over with 1200 wet
