lomoto Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I was passing the time of day with a mate of mine in the Bodywork game , he was restoring some really shabby paintwork on an old VW Golf in black , the paintwork came up like a mirrore with the setup he was using, a quick call to the local Motor Factor and I was the owner of a CP 240v polisher ..I cant wait to use it in anger on something Quote
Stew Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Rotary polisher! Ooooh! Mind the paint on the Zed is VERY thin! I'll stick to my Porter Cable as I'm less likely to see a wonderful unpainted bonnet with that....... Very nice though Tim. Find something German to practice on. They have three feet thick paint!

GIXXERUK Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 get your mate to give you some lessons tim, the paint on the Z is anorexic in places, you would have been safer with an orbital keep us updated and give us some top tips cheers, i've got a rotary and an orbital Quote
Stew Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I got my paint all tested with a micrometer paint thickness dooda. I know where the low spots are on mine so I can go canny! Quote

lomoto Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 Anyone would think I was using an angle grinder on it it will be OK with some fine finishing paste, besides my front end has had several coats of paint Quote
H5 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Anyone would think I was using an angle grinder on it it will be OK with some fine finishing paste, besides my front end has had several coats of paint Only got your best interests at heart Tim. Take a look on Detailing World at the huge number of over done efforts with rotaries..... But with nothing abrasive you will be fine. Quote
