I'm making a start on the roof but should I be wet sanding epoxy or do it dry?

I've done dry but I was getting as lot of build up on the paper after a few strokes

Is there a good way to clear this off? I'm using 240 because I've got some lumps to tidy up!

I've got some surface rust to sort in an area I can't really get to easily- any suggestions?

The holes can be sorted easily but I don't want to paint over rust. I've used kurust in the past but will it work on this?

I've got the roof flattened but it's highlighted how thin some of the spraying was but it's great to see it have some reflection in it!

I filled the a pillar area it's not the prettiest but it's sealed at least!

During the heavy rain yesterday I found out that the garage leaks, this is forcing my hand to epoxy the front out of safety, at least it's done now and allows me to focus on the doors and boot.

I've got some rubs because I got too close with the gun - I'll try and work out a way of extending the garage using an awning.

I think it's a slightly rougher finish that I'd like - I did thin it more but I'm unsure about air pressure.

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
