Using a Rotary

[rkf76]

I feel your pain, that's why I said avoid plastic - bumpers and trim. I'm sure they's guys that can do them, but I ain't one and I'll be damned if I ever try that again! Thankfully my OMYGOD moment was on an old beater with more battle scars than a 40 year old hooker & the owner was just happy I got it clean.

LOL. Yeah, I'll be experimenting with HTEC/OP and a cutting pad on the PC on plastic and see if that works for me.

^^ tape tape tape... looks like a painted side skirt right?? For all the people just starting out with rotaries, it's been said in many threads i've read, TAPE OFF ALL EDGES... edges are very sensitive and like in this case, paint can come off pretty fast...



rkf.. seems like you simply rubbed off the paint with the edge of your pad while doing the lower part of the door.. .is that what happened or were you actually polishing the sideskirt??

I was actually polishing the skirt, err, TRYING to polish the skirt before I got :sign
