That's just it. I gotta remember this is a camper (not necessarily a daily driver) and not a show Bus. I gotta call it quits at some point. -----Original Message----- From: thingmon@xxxxxxxxx Sender: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:54:42 To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: What material to use for final buffing? Hope this hasn't already be discussed (I'm way behind on emails...). Do you typically tape off the corners and high spots to limit the chances of burning through? Can I assume these areas are then done by hand? Some of the folks down this way have taken auto paint classes at San Jac Jr. College in Pasadena. They seem to have the equipment, space, etc... for a decent daily driver paint job. Have any of you gone the JC route? ________________________________ From: Duncan <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> To: TCB <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 5:35 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: What material to use for final buffing? Well, I have a good "in" at 3M. ;) ________________________________ From: sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sender: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:18:57 -0800 (PST) To: <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ReplyTo: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: What material to use for final buffing? First you need a high speed buffer: Various pads but I prefer the foam ones and then various grits of 3m buffing material. I used 3m 06062 first then finished with 3m finese. But, EPA regs have changed some of the formulations of buffing compounds. What I would do is go to a good auto paint store, ask what they recommend in terms of pads and buffing material and go with their recommendations. ________________________________ From: Duncan <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> To: .TCP <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, February 24, 2012 4:17:02 PM Subject: [tcb] What material to use for final buffing? Okay, I've got the paint sanded down with 2000 and ready for final buffing but I don't know what material to use? Any suggestions? Thx in advance. Sent almost from, but not quite, somewhere else.
