How many sanding sheets are needed

[asalah]

How many sanding sheets do you often need in average to completely sand a sedan suffering from orange peels ?

Bringing those sheets to Egypt costs me lot, so I need to know how many sheets are needed for both sanding and finishing, in order to calculate costs

Re: How many sanding sheets are needed

The quantity of sand paper sheets needed will depend on many factors: amount of paint needed to be removed, aggressiveness, paint hardness and of course vehicle size.

Just to play it safely I would recommend 2 sheets per vehicle panel. It's better to have some left than being short.

Don't forget to soak sand paper overnight (in water mixed with car soap) before sanding.
