desert_gold_hound Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Ok I was wondering is there a reason you paint as you sand? Wouldn't it be easier to wait tell you were done sanding too paint? Or is it that your worried about it rusting as you sand? I know it sounds as though I am questioning your way of doing things, however; I am not I am asking so I know the best way too do things later on. Quote Link to comment
