PRE “Finishing” the panel

 

            Yeh, I know we didn’t bend the panel yet, that’s ok. This is the easier method than trying to finish the metal once its already bent.

 

  1. Remove all of the tape.
  2. Where a mask and safety glass’s.
  3. Clamp the panel down using clean rags between the clamp and the finished metal.
  4. Use the palm sander and gently sand the panel from Top to Bottom as if it were in the car. So that’s the short side or width-wise. Continue length-wise down the entire panel. Do your best to make it look even. The next step is the final clean-up.
  5. Using the drill on medium speed, with the paint stripping wheel, go across the panel from Top to Bottom as if it were in the car. So that’s the short side or width-wise. Move the wheel back and forth with enough pressure to “buff” the metal to your desired results. Maintain equal pressure all of the way down the panel length-wise. Left to Right while moving down. Be-careful on the edges because the wheel has a tendency to grab the panel and jerk the drill away from you.
