Time Stamp 9-4-10

Finish preparation of any painting project is the key to a super paint job. Often times folks are in a hurry to paint color and end up with a average or a so-so job.

The bags were primed and now it is time for wet sanding. I use 220 and 400 grit paper as needed. The 220 grit will be used for detail the first wet coat sanding. Overall 400 grit is used everywhere else. One big key is to get a retaining tray to keep the job neat.

Here is what the bags look like after the 1st wet sand.

The bags will be primed again, then again wet sanded. After the 2nd prime, spot putty will be used on any defects that may still remain. Then the bags will be again wet sanded.

Here is a shot of one of the bags after the 1st wet sanding and fresh water rinse. The bag is still wet and gives a clue how nice the finish will look.
