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.

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?

Well, I have a good "in" at 3M. ;)

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.

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.
