Then just go slow. The tool is goodFor pumping too. Unless you some experience, then doing it the old school way still works well.

I have done about ten cars now. Its just technique and making sure yet get the paint nice and hot. Don't rush take lots of small steps. If you're not sure just get a professional to do it as you can easily f_uck it up. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79197-guard-rolling-with-tool-or-without/#findComment-1205900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
