If block should be used, what size sanding block do u recommend?

^^^^

1000 for the big stuff, finner (1500 / 2000) for small orange peel and for making it easier to buff

ALWAYS USE A BLOCK FOR ANY SANDING YOU DO ON A PANEL U WANT STRAIGHT

get a foam snading pa for the big areas, short sections of paint sticks are good for tight areas

I have a harbor freight sanding block. one of the long ones that are not flexible. Will that do the trick?

66

get a foam block, and start with 1000 grit for between coats. see how the last coat lays. you may be able to get away with 1500, 2000, and then buffing

67

where should one go to buy a foam sanding block?

would a small rubber one work?

the soft ones are much better for wet sanding paint you dont want to screw up

its REALY hard to get the edge of a soft block to dig in and ruin paint

do a search on honda tech before you start

hmm, their cars were MEH at best. But they are also poor honda kids who probably don’t do anything right… I might use the HVLP gun, but it just seems like so much more mess…

consider that you are going to simply beat this car and then turn it around for a quick sale.
