hey brian got a question
what excenter do you use with these papers? 3mm hub or 5mm? and how thick is your interface pad?
Good video Brian a question what’s the difference between k- series and 3M thanks
This looks rather complicated, a bit complicated at first. I just hope I can sand a whole car.
Thanks Brian for the help, I am fixing up my late father’s car, and the bumper sanding helped me a lot. I just do it by hand because I don’t have air power. Those K sanding papers are awesome.
When you need to re shoot a panel are you sanding off all the old clear coat, or can you apply new base over prepared clear?
I bought the starter kit, and some other grits months ago on your recommendation in this video. I just used them for the first time yesterday, and I have to say that Eagle Abrasives sand "paper" is amazing! It cuts quickly, evenly, and doesn't clog up. I will be buying more! Thanks!
I have a 2000 ford econoline box truck e350. There looks to be two layers of wrap and paint under each other. I started using the rubber wheel but notice that it’s very very time-consuming and I’m wondering if I can just sand over everything but I’m not sure what grit I should use I was thinking a 220 does anyone recommend what grit to use on the Box Truck. Keep in mind that the box part is mainly just board/wood material not metal
So if I keep sanding primer with 800, 1000, 15000 it’s not good? For example I am doing a plastic bumper from a BMW I scuffed it, put like 3 coats of primer and sanded it with k600, 800, 1000 and 1500 because I thought it needed to be like glass for base coat and clear…..
at 9:10 for example sand the primer with 600 and 800 should be good enough. Thanks Brian
This is a very informative video as are all your videos. If you get a chance could you make a video that discusses the difference in sanding procedure for a collisions style job versus a restoration job? It seems that the restoration people get super anal about using long flexible blocks to keep the body lines super straight from one end of the car to the other. When is that important and when can the small blocks and palm da or orbital sanders achieve the same result? Thank you.
what grit would you recommend for just prepping for vinyl wrap w sun damage
