Re: Removing Orange Peel & Sanding Marks with the Griot's ROP and the Wolfgang Twins
Excellent detailed write up Mike, however I expected nothing less from the "Master of Correction"!!!:urtheman: Mike, I always appreciate your time & tireless effort that you put into all of your "How to's". I know I have certainly benefited from your expertise & approach my work with more confidence because of you.:dblthumb2:

That's what I did.
The idea being to reduce the depth of the scratches to a minimum to make it easier for a tool with a free rotating spindle assembly to remove them.
I could have finished sanded using the Abralon #4000 grit discs but I wanted to stick with papers the average enthusiast has access to.
The GG ROP removed them without flinching on this paint system with the products shown, a person could remove them even more easily with a more aggressive compound.
I purposefully used non-aggressive products just for demonstration purposes.
Of course in the real world if I were sanding I would use a rotary buffer with a wool pad to remove my sanding marks because it's the fastest and most efficient way to remove a lot of paint quickly.

whats the reason you used mils and not microns for measurement?

Personal preference.
My background is working with mils, not microns.

fantastic write up! may i say perhaps youre best ever?
Re: Removing Orange Peel & Sanding Marks with the Griot's ROP and the Wolfgang Twins
great write up Mike. One questions: for every paint that has orange look must be used #2000, #2500 & #3000?
Re: Removing Orange Peel & Sanding Marks with the Griot's ROP and the Wolfgang Twins
wow mike i am in awe. you are the champ in multi tasking. how many jobs do you perform for ag? i had a show truck a couple years back that a pro pinstriper/artist took 2.5 hours just on one bed rail to sand. guess it takes what it takes. at my age i would probably croak before completing a full orange peel remover. kudos for the great write up. dave
Re: Removing Orange Peel & Sanding Marks with the Griot's ROP and the Wolfgang Twins
Mike, this "How-To" was incredibly detailed and perfectly documented! I read it awhile back but not the whole thing. I just finished reading it in it's entirety this time. WOW!
Unfortunately I am not brave enough to attempt removal of any orange peel on the panels of my factory painted Sky.
Thanks again for the education!
Re: Removing Orange Peel & Sanding Marks with the Griot's ROP and the Wolfgang Twins
Awesome article Mike! I can't believe I never saw this before!
Definitely going to bookmark this one for people who have wet sanding questions in the future. :dblthumb2:
