Part 1: How to Wetsand, Cut & Buff Custom Paint

Part 1: How to Wetsand a Muscle Car Mike Phillips teams up with Bruno Massel the 2012 NHRA Comp Eliminator National Champion and co-host of Truck U on Speed Channel to lead a team of people to fully wetsand, cut and buff a brand new "House of Kolor" paint job on a 1967 AMC AMX Muscle Car. Sponsors To help see this project through to success we have a number of sponsors we would like to thank for their contributions. 3M Dennis Povio, the Senior Account Representative has offered to supply all the sanding products will need including 3M wet/dry sanding papers, backing pads and Trizact Sanding Discs. Flex North America Bob Eichelberg, the President of Flex Power Tools North America will be supplying Flex Rotary Buffers and Dual Action Polishers to do all the machine cutting and polishing. Menzerna USA Jeff Silvers, President of Menzerna USA will be providing all the compounds and polishes for compounding and polishing the paint to perfection. This will include the brand new Fast Gloss 400 Compound or FG 400. Lake Country Pad Manufacturers Eric Dunn, the Senior Account Manger for Lake Country Manufacturing will be providing all the wool and foam cutting pads needed for each of the compounding and polishing steps all the way through the project. Autogeek.net Max McKee, the President and CEO of Autogeek.net and Palm Beach Motoring Group will be providing products from the Pinnacle Natural Brilliance Line for adding all the finishing touches inside and out to create a true, rolling work of art. Max has also waived the traveling and on-location appearance fees for Yancy and me. Grit Guard The wonderful family behind the Grit Guard company, Doug, Luan, Chris and Alli are sending a Grit Guard Universal Pad Wash and Detailing Cart. One of the most important things Mike teaches in all his classes is the importance of working clean and when it comes to doing the compounding and polishing steps to BLACK paint after a full wetsand process it's vitally important to clean your pads often, especially during the compounding step when using wool cutting pads with rotary buffers.
