Re: Sanding
yeah...why are you doing do much sanding?
Air tools make sanding go 100 times faster, but the block sanding is for final sanding to make sure your panels are straight.

Re: Sanding
Sorry dude, sanding is sanding. I once heard a pro painter say once that "We're not professional painters, we're professional sanders."
It's true.

Re: Sanding
use a da (dual action) grider. it feathers better and sands a lot faster. why are you taking it down so far. paint only needs to be taken to metal when bodywork is needed. what is already on there is usually the best to adhear to. if you take it down to bare metal its going to cause you more work sanding and spraying (etch primer for example).
