What grit sand papers are you using?

Black_Box · 01-13-2009, 10:15 PM

...cant remember, its gritty stuff for getting rid of the bumps and low spots and 400 and 800 for the final touchs...and higher after a few sanding on primer.

Padanky · 01-13-2009, 10:23 PM

Here is what I use, start w/ 36grt then 80grt to 180. 600 is plenty for paint, higher the better, but I wouldn't paint on anything finer than 800. You can prime on 180 if you are using decent primer.

If you pretty much have all the dips and dents filled, and are using filler you might not need to go as rough as 36grt, but it will really knock it down. Sand just until you start seeing the layer underneath and switch to 80. Don't use the 36 when you get to your last coats of filler, primer will most likely shrink into 80 grt and lower and you will see it in your paint later. Make sure you use atleast 180 to get out all 80 grt scratches.

You probably already know most of the above info, maybe not.

my methods are live and learn, but advice is always good to try...may be better than how im approaching it.

Toup · 01-14-2009, 10:28 PM

I love that padanky has internet service again it appears, he's always got good advice, and yeah that sub box looks sick...

Any plans on covering the window so people can't put their face up to it and see the back of the sub?

Black_Box · 01-14-2009, 10:29 PM

i have MDF and f/g blocking the sub, its a sealed box, plus the sub may be kinda hard on the window. she has a suede in mind or somthin, idk what she wants yet.
