Always
keep your sander flat on the panel you are sanding if you do not you
will make the work you are doing look wavy. Always start the sander on
the panel so you do not make a divit. Use 80 grit for body work, 120 to
180 to finish body work, use 220 for stripping paint, 320 to 400 for
finish work. |

 ShrinkageThis is not the title for a bad joke it is something that you need to be aware of when refinishing a automobile. So what is shrinkage? Shrinkage is caused by scratches being to
deep, paint not being feathered correctly or a reaction with the old painted
surface. When shrinkage happens you will be able to see your repair in the finished paint. |

If you are refinishing a automobile and will be working with fiberglass read the directions on the can of resin do not proceed with out doing so. When
working with fiberglass tape your sleeves shut, keep your collar on your shirt buttoned tight, keep your shirt tucked in. This is so the dust does not get
everywhere. When done take a cold shower to rinse off so that your
pores do not open up causing you a big itch fest. P.S. this works when you are insulating your home with fiberglass insulation. |
