Wet Sanding

-Greg72 · 09-25-2015, 08:31 PM

The most terrifying step..... "Scratching" all that beautiful new paintwork on purpose!!

The final buff out is going to be mind blowing. Can't wait!

like glass , realy good looking

ajgriffin · 09-29-2015, 03:20 PM

Looks great! What are the pieces of tape for on the panels? Looks like there are 4 pieces to point something out...1 behind the passenger rear door, another on the passenger rear quarter and 2 on the passenger side fender

It looks like they are cutting and buffing the paint so the tape is where the painter sees something he wants to come back to and polish a little more. It's easier to wet sand and buff an entire panel (which look great on this car) at once. Then nit pick and come back for little details.

Frizzle Fry · 09-29-2015, 07:36 PM

I'm not there, but yes that's the general idea.

Very nice!!!

knomadd · 09-30-2015, 09:51 AM

That's coming out great! I've used that tape method before. As others have already said, it's to mark locations that need more attention. Whether that's just more polishing, or more wet sanding and polishing, it's just a way to make sure you don't forget about something you aren't happy with.
