Re: How To Detail Sand Body Panels, Edges, Corners, Etc.

Haven't tried Z-chrome, so I'm not able to compare the two. Slick Sand definitely builds thicker than urethane high-build primers and it won't shrink as it cures. It does take more primer since it goes on thicker.
I'm going to try some slick sand when I run out of the Z chrome. I'm pretty happy with the Z-chrome so far but it's not cheap at $100 a gallon and I'm already on my third gallon so far.

Re: How To Detail Sand Body Panels, Edges, Corners, Etc.

I took some pictures to do a "Part 2" for the wet sanding process. I'll post those later once I get them uploaded and type out the explanation for each shot.

Until then, here's a pic of the bed after I painted it. Just shot it today so it hasn't been sanded or buffed yet. This is when all that work with the sanding blocks starts to pay off!
