The unique grit of the Micro Abrasive paper increases the durability and break down of the grits, which meant the paper’s where still textured and generally showed no wear, even after refinishing both sides of the exhaust. I laid them out to dry so I could reuse them when necessary.

I`ve viewed this thread a 1/2 dozen times, but because I spend so much time analyzing everything, I run out of time to commend you on your craft. It blows my mind how extensive you`ve gone into perfecting these vehicles. You are a world class artist that deserves world wide recogition. Bravo!



I`m also very pleased you`ve come to try the sandpaper from Micro Surface Finishing Products. Have you experimented with them on paint yet? You`re right, the thing that makes these papers unique is their thick, almost burlap backing material that creates an incredible amount of cushion. Try using a broken in piece of 4000 dry sometime. It really makes a huge difference. We use to dry and wet-sand every vehicle with 4000 back in the day at my shop. Makes the paint feel like buttery glass.

Thanks for the compliments David, means a lot comming from you for obvious reasons. I have tried the paper on paint and found it way to aggressive, but it is a learning curve.



Thanks again for the compliments as this detail was really the best I am capable of delivering (hell I cannot think of more to do). A while ago, I joked to a friend about removing the bolts and polishing them (I did that on the last Bella Firma Ferrari), then I said I was going to refinish the exhaust (I did this time). I really am running out of the things to do!

I hope you are very Proud of what you have become and learned!!



I hope someday soon we could get together and do a job together.

I`m sure you`ll think of something new to try



Anyway, there`s not much I can think to say about this detail and your documentation of it that hasn`t been said....... quite an untouchable job!
