Mark. I use a random orbit sander that has a 6" disk. It is air powered and my compressor will keep up to it at 40 psi. I like to run it with more pressure but it runs fine right down that low. I'd say go and look for a good random orbit sander that your compressor will keep up to. What cfm is your compressor. Mine is 7.7 cfm. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark and Theresa Elliott" <deadfishe@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 10:10 PM Subject: IML: removing paint Hey all, What are the best methods for removing paint from large body panels. I have been doing it by hand with a sanding block and 220 grit sandpaper, but it is taking forever. I have an air compressor and 2 air sanders, but I am unimpressed with the results of using them. One of them is a really cheap one that my wife bought for really cheap (though even with that she paid too much for the piece of junk), and I have a nicer one, but it requires about 90 psi to operate, and my compressor will only put out about 60-65 psi at a sustained rate with the volume of air that the sander requires. Needless to say it works ok until the sandpaper touches the car at which time it slows to a stop without having done much. What do most people use for removing paint?
