I have a hutching waterbug, never tried it for that but now that I think about it that's what I will use when I paint my tailgate in the coming months.
I tried doing this with a waterbug on my tailgate letters, but the center of the "O" and the "R" were higher than the sheetmetal surrounding the letters, and 1500 grit took it down to primer almost instantly. You have to be real careful doing it this way.
