To sand the two skim coats I’m using 320 grit reinforced mesh strips. These are tough, and if the frame is anchored well in a work stand you can really pull, it won’t break the mesh. You have to keep it moving up and down the tubing as you pull around the tubing, otherwise the mesh will leave a pattern in your skim coat. Then 400 wet dry before final paint. This is a very fast way to smooth down the initial coats to get rid of low spots from slight pitting.
The mesh conforms to the tight spaces but I cut the mish into thinner strips for real tight spaces. This is hard on the fingernail tips, quick manicure.
