To sand or not to sand?

[Flyinfreddie]

Hey guys I just finished up priming my Toyota hj45 gauge cluster. First with the epoxy primer then with Contour primer. My question is should I give a go at trying to sand it to knock down the light orange peel? Or is it too small of a piece to worry about? The only concern is that I can't find blocks small enough and don't want to mess up any of this style lines. The ultimate goal is to make it look as clean as possible since it is something that you will see everyday driving the vehicle. Thanks for the input!

This is pretty much what it comes down to - is it going to bother YOU every time you see it? From the photos, my inclination is that it isn’t something that would bother ME. However, it’s hard to tell from the photos and I know others who would go bonkers if it wasn’t perfect.

That can be sanded by hand no problem, If you are going gloss then you will see all that. If it was me i would sand it.

You don't need a block for a part like that.
