'special' sandpaper ?

[cdogg]

My VP sail drive leg is still painted with the original factory paint and I have bought the same VP can of spray paint to freshen it up. I seem to remember that when you lightly sand the leg and prop. prior to painting, you must use a particular type of paper to avoid a reaction. I may have got it wrong, but something 'oxide' comes to mind.

The leg has never been anti-fouled and I don't intend to do that after painting as it has remained growth free without it in the past.

Your guidance/advice would as usual be appreciated.

Hi Tom
Thanks for the link. Unless someone knows better, this might well be what I'm after.

Hi to Babs also.

80 grit seems rather course

I agree. I have gone for 120 grit which is classed as a smooth to finishing grade. If I can find an even finer grit I will go for that.
Thanks
