The Ford Barn

Bill S · 10-02-2017, 07:13 PM

I have a 1950 Ford. Around the trunk hinge the paint was chipped. I removed the hinge. I have fixed chips and need to color sand. Can I do dry color sand or does it have to be wet. The problem if I do wet some water may go into the trunk even if I try to plug the holes.

Why not wet sand with WD40 rather than water?.

I've done that. Works fine and the WD40 will dry overnight.

Do not want it to go through the hinge mounting holes and get into the trunk. As the trunk is upholstered.

Mask the holes from below and use an old blanket or rug to catch anything that gets by.
