And yes I'm about as rough as they come sometimes but I can spin paint quite well just like I can drive like a demon posessed. I love doing what I do and if you don't like it then meh enjoy being part of the hater club because I don't care good sir

That is why you use a thick layer of primer to fill the "swirls" left by the power sander and hitting metal is kinda part of the point what I said is not for roughing up the paint it's for stripping it back. Roughing it up is all well and dandy but if the paint is flaking why would you want to base anything on it?

In theory that makes sense in reality that is not going to work that great I tried to block my mkII but it has too many curves to get it blocked really nice, using the palm of your hand works well if you use your fingers it will leave marks but you use the soft palm of your hand it won't leave marks like finger tips. Also using a palm sander to do a whole car will take ages a random orbatal is best and use a palm sander on the bits it can't get to. There are different ways of doing things doesn't make either way wrong I just don't see the point in spending heaps of time making the surface perfectly smooth when the primer can be used to fill the slight marks, I've used my method to great success I've seen it used to build cars to show spec and I've been told it's all wrong .....each unto his own, I'm still proud to be the ghetto guy though I'm not here to fu** spiders just have fun.
