Title: Sanding primer Post by: joesquid on July 06, 2005, 12:22:30 pm I'm prepping my Vendo 63 for paint and was curious how fine should I sand it before taking it to the painter? I've seen great results from just 220 but wanted to take mine further. That raises a couple of questions:
1. Does anyone sell anything finer than 220 grit for 6" DA sanders? 2. Is it possible to get primer too smooth for the top coat to stick properly? Thanks and hope everyone had a great Independence Day weekend!! Title: Sanding primer Post by: sodaworks on July 06, 2005, 02:02:54 pm Hello joesquid,
I always block sand with wet 400 grit prior to paint. Have your painter use a primer sealer prior to top coat finish. If you use 220 g. you'll probably see sanding lines in the finish paint. Spray on a guide coat (I normally fog on some black paint from a spray bomb) Using a wet block you'll remove the black paint from the primer. This sanding method allows you to get the body straight as black paint will stay in the low spots. I only use 80 and 180 g on my DA. I you like the 6" I highly recomend using a 8" random orbital sander, you'll get better results:drinking: |
