how to prep metal for painting - Plating Powder Coating Buffing Anodizing

coorsman · #1 (**permalink**) 08-13-2003, 11:02 PM

I just welded up a frame for a table, I grinded the welds down flush with the suface, but when I paint it u can see my grind marks. What is the best way to hide all the grind marks? Is there a filler I could use?

Thanks Coorsman

You could use bondo and sand it smooth with 1000 grit and then 1500 or you could sand it with 400 grit "wet" and 1000 and then 1500.
