Painting a Pointer

[jmk]

I'm trying to get my 20' fiberglass pointer ready for the water. I'm going to repaint the deck and interior sides. What type of sandpaper should I use with my orbital sander? Some of the surfaces are pebbled and others are smooth.

hook & loop 36-40E grit on the "pebbled" (woven roven?) surfaces, 80 on your smooth ones

I concur on the grit, I just did that 2 weeks ago.

BTW if you rig your ROS dust port up to your shop-vac( I taped mine to the hose) it makes life a lot less itchy!

I just repainted my topside and went with 80 worked jest fine. Also check with what paint you are going to use as some require different prep than others.

Whatever you do, ALWAYS make sure you pet your pointer before sanding him...
