A few variables, I work at a body shop.
Paint is sanded next day, using 2000 grit. We do not reduction sand, we have had plenty of excellent results on numerous clearcoat finishes with this technique. So Ideally, I'll like to stick with 2k. I would however, want to switch the way i'am sanding, to a DA.
I'd like to first understand the pro's of it, as far as I know it is faster, creates less mess, and most likely will buff out easier. The only downside I can think of is, it could burn the paint faster. Am I on the right track so far?
I'd like to get into more details on the supplies i need, but i want to make sure this step is the right one for us, before i switch everything else up. Thanks guys!
