Color Sanding Process - Color Sanding To Perfection

The Paint May Be Dry, But If You Want A Show-Quality Finish Color Sanding Is A MustRubbing sandpaper on high-dollar paint seems as logical as dropping a dumbbell on your foot right after it's been removed from a cast. Intentionally ruining what took months, or years, of agony and suffering to accomplish is just pure madness. As much as it may defy logic, scuffing up fresh paint during the color sanding process is the most effective way to eradicate tiny surface imperfections and achieve the proverbial smooth-as-glass finish. Like weeds in a meticulously groomed golf course, regardless of the painstaking efforts put forth by even the most experienced of body men to keep them at bay, orange peel, dust nibs, and fish eye divots are inevitable consequences of the painting process. To find out why this is the case, and how to go about correcting these flaws, we tagged along as Rodney Austin of Austin's Collision & Body Works subjected the hood of a Camaro to the color sanding treatment. Quite frankly, we were stunned as we watched Rodney transform what was already a fine-looking piece of steel into a paragon of automotive perfection.
