: I'm with Jay on this one. I'm in the final sanding of my Black

The advantage of the auto sanding block is it's already got two handles, has clips for the paper and the auto paint places sell the paper to fit. Paper is lots cheaper by the box btw.

When I get home, I've got a discounter that sells these things at a big discount online. There are new plastic ones that are quite a bit more flexible than the old wood/metal standby ones.
