I've never seen that either but I assume the smaller the offset the finer the finish even though its still the same grit. Always a trade off. One finish sands better and another will remove paint better. Hence my chainsaw reference earlier.

Yessir I believe that is correct as you described it. It looks like the measurement is strictly the offset of the circles that the abrasive sheet makes from one revolution to another. Therefore the larger the offset it would seem the greater the swirls you would need to remove!

With my lack of experience it's not like I would attempt to color sand with a machine anyway. I guess my question for you guys that do this for a living is "would a more aggressive DA be a problem when final sanding the primer or spot putty."

one more quick thought is what is most available in quality paper - stick on or hook/loop?

I use stick on cheaper here and just as good.
Jeff I been doing every thing with a hand block I would not use a DA on primer or not spot putty but finishing glaze. If you think you can get your car body straight with a DA You are lots better than me at it. you can color sand after paint just use a soft foam pad it works great and if I can do it so can you.
Are you able to hand block on your car or is your back not going to let you?
We can work on another tool that might be easier on your back.
Not trying to discourage you Jeff just want your car to look real good and save your back to.

:rofl:LMAO over that one fog! hold on I will be ready to type in a minute***** ok I'm back.. I gotta get me one of those!
Would be hard to peddle but after I got going I could keep up with traffic. Or maybe traffic would pull off the road and let me by. lol
 
Yessir, I will be able to block it.

Sounds like I'm going to save some $ and leave you alone til I finish my welding and filler work!

What's your suggestion for a good quality paint sir. I have to look so I can change my mind 11 times!

Base/clear for sure! Solid only!



BTW: I love chili! I'll try your recipe!

Chili out of a can is my home made chili. lol
 
How'd that bed side go today Fred? Got to be a whole lotta spot welds in a bed side.

FWIW, I have eaten more Dinty Moore canned chili in the military than I can remember. I used to keep some crackers and chili/stew in my helmet bag all the time. Saved being hungry alot! Tabasco too!
 
Never used it but I've heard nothing but good reviews for a company called Southern Polyurethane.
Informative web site to boot. Prices seem decent too.

Insurance co. said I had to fix it and the other box side got it also and have to paint most of the truck, all 4 doors front fenders and box sides. I will take everything off the truck. Box, doors and fenders and paint it apart much easier.
This box side is ready for primer now. All the bare metal you see is all bondo now. should have been replaced, damn insurance co. should have totaled the truck.
The owner was hunting in Montana and was going down a trail in his truck and it slid down a hill and bounced off a few trees . lol I guess people are to lazy to walk down a trail anymore.
Eating chili and trying to hide from an enemy? I would think they would find you real fast. lol
