Painting dilemma need some advice

[CC69Rat]

SS Metallic ? How much paint is on the door?

I'm thinking 2500 / 3000 wet and let it ride. (No buffing) The 3000 will actually polish the paint to semi-weathered look, and almost like a 70% flat sheen ?

Maybe do this first, then buff the whole truck with 3M stage 1, a.k.a. Finesse It if you want it to shine a little. IF you buff it, stay around 1200 rpms, and keep the pad good and wet with material. If it gets dry as the pad spins it takes more paint off and you can burn an edge pretty quickly. (that's why I wouldn't go more than 1200 rpm)

Might be a good way to add shine AND patina all in the same effort.

Seriously though, maybe try a spot on the window frame and see what you think. My bet is it would darken / kinda more redd'ish look in the paint.

IF you add that IF stripe back on it and kinda muted it back / weathered look too my thought being it would tie the whole side of the truck back together. IT looks like it may have been sanded at like 1500 now ? Bottom line, .. I don't think I'd paint it at all. Especially if it's metallic.
