11. When each square-foot section is done use a loop or
preferably a 30x microscope to look over the section. You
will see what appears to be silver highways. If you see
any brown or copper spots, mark them and rework
12. Once you are satisfied, take a six-inch
sander (we like to use a Hutchings 4500), with
80-gritt sand paper. This particular sander
feathers steel very well and provides superior
paint adhesion. Go over the entire panel, and
then blow off the debris.
13.The next step is to take a clean towel and
wet it with lacquer thinner to completely wipe the
panel down. you will see that there are still more
metal paticles coming from the panel. When it is
throughly clean, you are ready to do your body
work or priming, if the panel is straight.
