[quote=”Andy T” post=26767]We dry sand wherever possible.
Sometimes I don’t think you can beat a bit of wet sanding for more feel on a complex shape, but on the whole we sand our primer with 500 on the DA, or 400 for dark or solid colours.[/quote]
Yea i would like to do the same but boss worrys about pig tails etc, so makes us finnish on 800/100 wet. Tbh not big fan off wet sanding
thanks mate
Thanks Ben and Baron, Only want a snap on one as i can pay it off monthly just finnished my apprenticeships and money is bit tight getting tools etc Hutchins dont sell in uk unles its under a diffrent brand?
[quote=”Andy T” post=26753]Since you’re from the UK Sach I’d highly recommend Mirka sanders. We’ve had 4 of them at work for 4 years now. They are on the go most of the day and we haven’t had a single failure yet. We also have one of their 2.5mm orbit finish sanders, and one of the mini 77mm units.
I also own a large and small one myself, which again have never given me any trouble.

ROS650CV is the one to go for if you’re only having one, or the DB model if you want it to catch some dust 🙂
If you don’t have a large compressor or simply prefer electric, look at their CEROS sanders. Amazing little tools with much more power than you’d imagine!![/quote]
Thanks Andy was look at the ROS650CV was not to sure on it i might speak to the MK Paints rep see what price, so far cheapest i seen is at http://www.restexpress.co.uk/acatalog/Mirka_Air_Orbital_Sanders.html Do you dry sand primer for base? or still 800/1000 wet?
Thanks
any pics?
Mate dont worry about when i did it was waste off time just enjoyed meeting reps and new products.
[quote=”InvictaRefinish” post=25330]I worked at a renault approved nissan main dealer bodyshop and we had to have this on the shelf for renault work, we used what we knew best the sikkens on the other scheme hence it hardly ever got used.
But when I did use it it was fine just like the dupont cromax in my opinion, takes some getting used to swamping it all on in one go if you have come from basecoats that require the base to be put on in stages like the sikkens.
If it is rebadged Dupont cromax/spies permahyd or standox equivelent they have a few issues though, as in drying problems (staying spongy) and if you ever need to puff a bit of base on dryer or lighter anywhere watch the colour as light colours tend to look darker in sunlight although it initially looks lighter or ok in the workshop. we had a libary full of sparyouts sprayed wet and dry, giving different colours some like you wouldnt believe.[/quote]Hi thanks for that, I used PPG, Max mayer befor take this job now been there 6 months and getting my head around it. yea i noticed colour are lighter in sunlight etc.
I take it was Auto Skill comp, I did it last year, like said college that holds do judge it and they student that was entered knew lot more then was said. your not ment to know as they ask you do read data sheet to see how you get on tbh. How did you do?
Hi thanks for that, since posted that i have got used to it, i take it you get trained by Tony? You work for renault? Yea i have access to that computer. what gun you useing with Ixell?
