How much sandpaper do you use per car?

Discuss anything after that final masking comes off.

Just curious about at what rate people are replacing sandpaper. With these fine grits for cutting and buffing clear, its hard to tell when the paper is not doing a good job anymore, so I'm curious how often you switch to a new piece of sandpaper?

are you talking a full respray or just the flattening before buffing process??
either or, you should be able to tell by the sound, it should have a nice crisp sound when your sanding,
on a small corolla that im painting at the moment, a full bare metal job, lots of dents and ripples, ive basically had to skimcoat most of the car in filler, I reckon I have used around 100 sheets/discs of paper, and i haven't finished the prep work yet!!
