Re: My wetsanding project with PICTURES!
Theres not a lot to be afraid of. Do some homework, buy what you need to do it right, and take things slow at first. There seems to be a lot to it, but once you get the hang of it its not that bad. Common sense and a good eye will take you a long way but I will always suggest using a gauge. Guys like me who are too stubborn or cheap to buy one are doing it at the risk of sanding through a paint job even though that risk is a lot lower than that of someone doing it for the first time. High spots, sharp body lines, corners, and edges are where you have to stay away from when sanding and compounding. Learn how to work around those areas without actually doing much to them and the biggest danger is out of the way.

^^Don`t you think 650 bucks for a gauge is a little crazy???

Yep. Thats why I dont have one. There are cheap ones out there for a couple hundred bucks but I know very little about them. I dont personally do enough retail wetsanding to justify buying one. Most of mine is all wholesale vehicles. I could tell someone new to wetsanding that its perfectly safe to do it without a gauge if you pay attention to what your doing at all times and take all the precautions, but I do feel that a gauge would be a life saver to someone whos really unsure of how far they need to go.
