i just repainted my crx and i wnt to kno how im supposed to buff areas that have a quick curve, such as the sides of the bumper covers, and what to do to avoid buffing the black bumper trim.

i was told to buff the curved areas by hand, but that seems like a lot of work.
thanks

 

a buffer..............

and use painters tape to tape off the trim.

 

Since your buffer goes clock wise you want to use the right edge of the buffer on the top part of the curve. On the bottom side of the curve you want to use the left side of the buffer. This way you never catch the edge. Don't place the buffer directly on the curve cause this might cause it to burn through. Unless you have experiance then just do it by hand.

 

if you're worried enough, just get ahold of a mini buffer and hit all the tight areas. a$$hole pneumatic has one for like $80(i think) with all the pads

 

i just thought that if i use the edge of the buffer it will burn through the paint. this is all a learning experience,so I'll try that and see how it goes
