Topcoat polishing is mainly aimed at the polishing of fine defects such as particles, fibers, and pinholes on the surface of the topcoat body. The topcoat grinding is different from the middle coating or electrophoresis body grinding. Provides higher decorative properties; so the requirements for topcoat grinding are also higher than those for midcoat or electrophoretic body sanding. There are some tips for topcoat grinding below:

1.For topcoat grinding, P1200#, P1500# or even P2000# sandpaper should be used and soaked in water for 3~5min. The fineness of the sandpaper is higher. 2.For small defects such as single particles and fibers that need to be ground, the A5 pyramid sanding disc (P3000) should be attached to the pneumatic sander for grinding. When grinding, the method of circular grinding is required, and the force is uniform, and no edge grinding is allowed, and no straight reciprocating grinding is allowed. 3.For larger particles, enameled bags and small sags, first use a scraper to smooth them out, and then polish them. The scraper should be leveled and applied evenly. Pay attention to the angle of the blade. Do not scrape too much at one time. After scraping, first use P1200# water sandpaper for grinding, and then use P2000# water sandpaper for fine grinding, and no secondary defects should appear during the grinding process. 4.Large-area defects such as orange peel and pinholes are fully polished with P2000# waterproof sandpaper.

5) Polishing should be carried out for all polishing areas. The quality after polishing requires no scratches, wear marks, polishing shadows, and unclean polishing. The surface of the body after polishing needs to be smooth and clean. The polishing process needs to be evenly applied and must not leak. Throwing, shall not cause secondary defects.
