What grade of paper do you use on a jitterbug sander on sheetmetal?
I was using 600 on this 8N ford of my dads before he passed away,
It worked pretty good, But it didnt last that long before it was all slick and no good,?
I guess I could use the same thing on this mc cormick, And I gues it would turn out ok,
Ohh mann I found a good hood and now Im getting a belt pulley and i need a person to tell me where to send that pulley to get it redone?

kirk, jitterbug is an old school sander, but if you dont have a d/a sander, ya gotta "run what you brung" if you are doing plastic work ie filler, rough sand with 36, then 80, then 180 to 240. if you are trying to remove paint and get to bare metal, try 120 to 180 grit to get most off, then switch up to a finer grade like 240. for finish work with the jitterbug, 320 is a good grit, 400 would be for final blocking and priming.some of the old jitterbugs had a water spray attachment for wet sanding. was real nice on them big ole cars with flat panels, new cars are to curvy, and the metal is too thin.
