I had carefully masked off the finished blue rudder cheeks and boot top and then applied ten coats of white gloss by roller, tipping out with a foam brush.
Then I used wet and dry sandpaper to obtain a smooth surface, with no brush marks.
Like this.
I wet sanded using P800, 1500, 2000 and 2500 grits.
Lastly I used polishing compound from P5000 to P11000 to finish the surface off.
This is what the finished rudder now looks like.
Very nice. I mustn't forget to paint the bottom of the plate, though!
