Wet sanding concave and convex areas

[Red Lehr]

Hi Mike, I am going to try to save a bad paint job on my 64 Galaxie 500 ,but there are areas of concave and convex surfaces to wet sand. Do you have any video of wet sanding concave areas ???
Thanks,
Red

We hand sanded all the concave panels on the 1969 AMX project, real pain. I'll get you the links but off hand I'm not sure we captured any focused video of this part of the project.

I've folded both Abralon and Trizact machine sanding discs with the foam backing to work these areas. Not a perfect method but it will work, hang tight and I'll dig up some pictures.

Here's a pictures showing Trizact disc folded for a curved panel....



Here's Paul aka Sailfish hand sanding a curved portion of the hood by hand using Trizact disc folded and rolled to fit the curve...

Getting busy with it...

Might watch through the first part of this live broadcast and see if we captured any of this on tape...

There are tons of tips and techniques on how to machine wetsand, use a rotary buffer, use a Flex 3401 and apply GTechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer throughout these two videos.
