use the wet n dry paper wet mate. after your final spray use the wet n dry with a light water mist but you want something around 1800 grit or if you can 2000, for denibbing, then you need polish to get it perfect. from a coarse one moving up to a fine finishing polish.
hope this helps

Use 2000 wet and dry (wet) maybe a bit of washing up liquid helps to provent u rubbing threw the paint. to de nib the paint you must makes sure the paint is 100% dry first

I always use 2500 Meg's stuff, it's amazing! Thats how I got the finish in the guide that's mentioned on here lol..
As Nick says Ryan make sure it's fulled cured (Dryed) first before you try and wet and dry it, if you're baking the paint on then do that and let it cool then you may be able to sand tomorrow, if your letting it dry naturally give it a good 2-3 days before trying to rub it down - if you do it too soon your just going to cause yourself more work in the long run.
