mfg Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 One part of the factory painting process for Studebaker Avantis was a thorough wet sanding. Was wet sanding unique to the Avantis, (as opposed to other Stude cars), due to the fiberglass body and the use of lacquer paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Yes, it was unique to the Avanti because they sure didn't wet sand Larks and Hawks and trucks! The Larks/Hawks/trucks were painted with enamel. Edited February 23, 2017 by r1lark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Actually Paul, I think that they did wet sand the other lines as part of the painting process...I'm not 100% sure, but for now I'll say....Answer...No! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ed, guess I 'assumed' something regarding your question......I shouldn't do that. Are you talking about wet sanding the primer coat before the final painting the finish coat, or wet sanding the finish coat after all paint was applied (but prior to buffing)? I assumed you meant wet sanding the finish coat............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
