Getting stuff ready for primer and paint

[frito-bandito]

Any thoughts if that wet sanding would take them big runs out ?

I wish I could tell you, my only experience with wet sanding is just polishing dull clear coat

It might work. I have never tried sanding runs out of single stage paint. I have sanded lots out of urethane clear though. 1000 grit wrapped around a "sponge" worked best for that. Then burn it in with a buffer.

You just go from 1000 to a buffer? You don't jump up too 1500 then buff? Being single stage I thought I'd do a little extra with the 1500 and 2000 grit. Basically there six coats of paint of this truck in my theory there shouldn't be a problem.

1000-to-buffer.... That is why I said "burn". You basically have to melt the paint with the buffer/compound to get rid of the 1000 grit marks.

With less experience, it might be best to sand it with 1500 1st.

The finer you go on the sanding, the less work you have to do with the buffer. So, I'm a fan of 1500/2000, then buff. The last car we did, was my cousin's black Trans Am, and it looked like you could touch it, and makes ripples like water, it was so slick.

I ordered some 1000 1500 and 2000 grit sandpaper and some buffing compond and a buffing pad I'm going to wait to wet sand till after my truck is together I forget the longer them runs dry the better.

Really coming together now, looks sweet. Did you get an LED chrome third brake light for it?
