It’s so much easier than paper. And I had really dirty wheels. Just go nice and light if using coarse stuff.I found that if using really fine paper your there for ages trying to clean it out. Primer also sticks a lot better if you take the original finish off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
