Thanks, good info.
I have to redo my Coronet because of over spray and was wondering what block/pad was best for color sanding. I assume you use the paint stick in the close quarter areas and the hard rubber pad on everything else?
Correct,.....never let your "fingers do the walking", or a soft surface behind paper, or those "sanding blocks" for delicate finial surface work,.....I know there's times of nooks and crannys that you have no choice, but for the open expanses of sheetmetal, you want a resilant surface under your paper, to produce a "flat finish".....good luck on your project!
