Re: slammed 57
Question… when you’re sanding are you cutting to 1500 or 2000 grit before buffing and are you doing your final polish with foam or wool?

using a ton of guide coat between each grit except when doing the final step of 3000 grit. Also Iam really happy where the patched in of the cowl vent, came out pretty slick. all that left with the cab is the cut and polish of the door jambs....

Re: slammed 57
slamed 57 you said you guide coat when colour sanding. Never thought of that , dose that give good indication of when you have removed all the marks from previous grit. Doesn't the water from sanding just wash the guide coat off?? Very nice looking truck and paint is awesome.

Re: slammed 57
Yes, it tells you exactly when all scratches are gone and move on to the next grit. you can not use the guide coat on the first cut ( there are no scratches for the powder to fill) only after 600-800 or what ever grit you prefer start with.The key is to use a lot of light. a flood lamp on a stand works great, a led that straps to your head (like what the mechanics) use works decent to. when first applied and sprayed with water only a slight amount comes off but plenty stays on for the sanding process. As your are sanding you will see the scratches slowly disappearing, when they are gone I will sand 2-3 more swipes after just to be sure. it produces a consistent and even result. 3000 grit does not need guide coat applied. I also only buff and polish at 1000 rpm with a high quality pad,almost impossible to burn the clear or burn through.

Re: slammed 57
slammed 57 thanks for the reply. Will have to try that, alsohow do you prevent getting deeper scratches when sanding. For some reason i get scratches fromdirt or whatever in the paint when sanding. I try to use a lot of soapy water when sanding but still get them don't know what I'm doing wrong. Also soak paper in bucket often

Re: slammed 57
Use clean water
Wash the part to be sanded first before sanding Change water between grits Dont stir up the water when dipping sander into bucket Use a large bucket Use a bucket to rinse of the sander before dipping into the "good" bucket Use a soaking wet rag to wipe the surface often and especially between grits Use a pump sprayer |
Re: slammed 57
I have used a garden hose with a slow stream to flood the surface when wet sanding.

Re: slammed 57
