86 12 Brutus Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 That looks beautiful! My work truck is not nearly straight enough for that kind of gloss. Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing first gained traction producing auto paint sandpaper for Ford back when Model T's and A's were painted (black only) by brush! They have a LOT of experience in ultra fine abrasives, and the automobile finishing trade in particular. i wil use nothing but 3m compound, nothing else compares, its what gives it that beautiful closs.

ArdWrknTrk Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Not bad for a blind man I'd think keeping the gun a constant distance from the panel would prove difficult for someone without sight. But sanding and buffing to a glass smooth finish wouldn't surprise me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
