Fresh PPG paint work

[BikerDrew]

NOW you are on to something! The 85 with the foam pad caused a lot of drag and that is where I got in trouble.

I did watch the video on sanding mark removal. Thank you for providing this link. The example shown in the video shows flat surface work. Almost all of the work I did was on sharp, curved or convex areas. What a pain to apply the face of the foam pad.

I could see how a wool pad would require less presure to conform to the surface.

Mike I admit, I picked a very difficult surface to learn new paint prep. All the help is appreciated! As soom as I figure out how, I will post picts I took an hour ago.

Thank you for your specific answers. I will carefully repaint the surfaces this next weekend and follow your and Tim's advice more closely.

Thanks for the help, but this repeat post does not answer my questions

Yeah, I didn't mean to post that and what nobody can see behind the scenes is my Internet connection is stalling out and I'm having a hard time posting.

Thanks again for all your help. I will follow up with a post when I begin the project again.

Hi Drew,

Mike covered it extremely well....

I tend to use the #85 with the W-4000 wool pad for buffing out 2000 grit sanding marks. This product/pad combo tends to run cooler. But as Mike said, you need to be very cognitive of the amount of heat being generated by the buffer. But there is one problem with using the wool pad, it can create buffer marks and will require another step to remove these marks. I usually follow the #85/W-4000 with #83 DACP and a W-8006 Polishing pad.

Take your time, watch the temperatures and you will be just fine!!
