    Wet sanding

    Im planning on wet sanding my vehicle some areas had been reprayed and of course the other areas are oem paint
    I would like to wetsand the bonnet (hood)
    I have been doing some PTG readings and getting anywhere from 118 microns to 146 microns

    Would it be safe to use the 3m 1500 trizact sanding disc? or would i need to go with 2000 grit or perhaps 3000 grit?

    What i have available to me to work with is 3m 1500 3m 3000 sanding descs
    And i have the carpro denim 2000 grit and carpro 3000 grit

    Re: Wet sanding

    ^ do a quick search for @mikephillips post on how to wet sand.
    there is much more experience, and equipment/sanding discs/ technique, than just jumping in.

    sanding is not a game to play like polishing may seem. to do it properly, prep... and many... many... many hours of patient hard work are needed.

    hope that helps'

    Sorry for the late reply but you posted this after I had already put in a 9 hour day and had logged-off.

    I'd say "probably". Paint Thickness Gauges only measure total film build unless you dump a ton of money into one and even then....


    The 3M Trizact Sanding Discs are probably the safest sanding discs on the market. So if you want or need to remove orange peel or other surface texture than I say go for it.

    Just remember these things,

    1: Sanding is the easy part - the tricky part is getting 100% of your sanding marks out.


    And these,

    2: Sanding removes paint

    3: Compounding removes paint.

    4: Polishing removes a little paint.

    The last thing you want to do is make a "whoops".

    Re: Wet sanding

    Thanks mike so if go with 3m 3000 + 5000 then microfiber n compand i should be fine?

    On the pillar areas its a bit thinner should i just do microfiber and compound no sanding what do you think?

    Also what speed setting should i be working with 3-4 or higher?
