iskim86 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 today is my first day of work. I almost completely sanded down the back side with a 100 grit sandpaper in about 30 minutes using an electric palm sander. next to the palm sander is a compressed air nozzle to blow away particles every 20 seconds of sanding or so. build-ups slow things down. about half way through the wood shop guy was kind enough to show me that nifty table that sucks in all the dust pics http://www.bloodyvelvet.com/pics/jacksonwip01.jpg http://www.bloodyvelvet.com/pics/jacksonwip02.jpg http://www.bloodyvelvet.com/pics/jacksonwip03.jpg http://www.bloodyvelvet.com/pics/jacksonwip04.jpg http://www.bloodyvelvet.com/pics/jacksonwip05.jpg http://www.bloodyvelvet.com/pics/jacksonwip06.jpg wow, so much easier than sanding it by hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chartier Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 how much will the paint process cost yoU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTU 7's. Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 It's going very good. I think that you have to leave the arm contour and the otheru contour, that are in red. And then paint the other parts in metallic blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskim86 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 how much will the paint process cost yoU? the finishing process will cost uh... paint cans + polyurethane cans. $15? i have some fine sandpaper left over from a few years ago so no need to worry about that. i still have the front and the sides left to go, so that's about a couple hours of work right there.

killemall8 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 how much will the paint process cost yoU? the finishing process will cost uh... paint cans + polyurethane cans. $15? i have some fine sandpaper left over from a few years ago so no need to worry about that. i still have the front and the sides left to go, so that's about a couple hours of work right there. why did you sand the paint all the way off? it is much more stable to just sand the clear off and primer from there.
