Yea, no problem, flatten it with 400 grit with back up pad on a DA.
[quote=”gtome” post=30089]Please explain how its faster?[/quote]
Air movement drys the paint, you use air dryers to blow air across the painted surface. Water is hands down faster for small jobs.

Water is actually faster for a small job like spotting in a rear cover on a Beemer. 😉

There is always work in this trade for a skilled workers, its not uncommon for owners to pay good salaries to some of the employes just to keep em around. Good auto body techs/painters these days are hard to find, seems like a lot of the new ones are just parts changers and cant do good filler work and put out dust free paint without cutting and buffing to save their lives,Its a tough cut throat business to be in but i wouldn’t worry about it too much if i were you.

:welc Rep :cheers
Seems like ya got a good flow going there now ding. We usually do 3-4 rebuilds per year, most of the time they turn a decent profit.
When it comes to paint i like to use the old saying “when in doubt throw it out” :lol1

And Money!
Id be damned if i had to depend on my jobber to mix my colors, defenitly cheaper with your own bench and alot easier to tint when need to aswell. But i can also understand that every ones situation is different.
After you have finished blocking your primer with 400 grit shoot your 2K uranthane sealer wet on wet to base than clear.
Very Nice!!
Welcome aboard!!
40 grit might gouge out the metal, i would suggest 80 grit or a stripper wheel.
