#7: Re: painting my alloys Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Aug 19, 2010 3:38 am ---- hes talking about the grade of sand paper, 180 being very rough and grade 1200 being very fine, you use finer grades last to make sure the surface has a really smooth finish.
#8: Re: painting my alloys Author: LilLew, Location: PlymouthPosted: Thu Aug 19, 2010 3:39 am ---- you could also go to ultra fine which is 2000grit - 2500grit
