The finer the better
Hi Robin
From my experience I would say the finer the better. I use an orbital air sander with real fine wet sand paper and running water to really cut slowly through the layers. It is how I found the markings on my `42 C60S which came through French Army Nato stock. The markings were definitely on a post war layer of paint and strangely there were no markings under that post war layer though there was two more layers (slight difference in color) then the primer coat on bare steel. A question for the group as a whole, in the US it was common to just paint over unit marking and numbers, but I have heard that vehicles coming out of British Service it was common to grind of the old markings then paint over that area, comments please? Cheers Phil
