    Ever have a day were you get to do what you really enjoy and have a product at the end of the day? Wet sanded all four fenders for a '35 Ford Coupe, they really look nice, another heavy coat of primer and round of blocking and they may be paint ready. Bob

    Dang Bob, It was a good day. Post a few pictures of what you are working on. Nothing anymore relaxing and pleasing than seeing your work progress along................... Jeff

    Bob, i always liked wet sanding, quiet, clean, you don't need a mask.
    are they Leo's fenders?

    ^^^^ Think so, wet sanding primer puts me in a better mood than wet sanding finish paint, keep thinking someday I'll be sanding my own stuff. I'd like to have my cars done and in finish primer, everything fit, then blown apart for paint.

    I too am a-o-k with a good wet sand. I do hate when the thumb and fingers get a little raw on a big job. Beats a mask and dust mess any day.[emoji40][emoji30]

    No, AC died, one less thing to listen too, warm summer days are the things you remember in February. I was wet sanding and enjoying every minute of it. Bob
