copperhead Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Got any tips for ventilation and keeping dirt down when painting in an attached garage? I've got a single window and a standard double door. I'm going to try to pick up an HVLP gun before my next attempt, the grav feed that I have just put way too much paint in the air.

Clifford Automotive Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 After the clear has cured the vehicle is dry sanded or wet sanded. I prefer to dry sand because it more time effiecent and less mess. I blow it off and start buffing. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u298/pimpjettay2k/2000%20GMC%20Jimmy/KarenCliffords2000GMCJimmy029.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u298/pimpjettay2k/2000%20GMC%20Jimmy/KarenCliffords2000GMCJimmy028.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u298/pimpjettay2k/2000%20GMC%20Jimmy/KarenCliffords2000GMCJimmy027.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Doesn't dry sanding take off a shit ton of clear? Or do you spray more on to compensate for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its take off the same if not less. One major benifet it you dont have any harsh spots to buff back up like when wet sanding. It cuts a lot more evenly then wet sanding.
