Do you use the same machine for sanding the primer that you use to remove the gel coat?

We use Porter Cable orbital sander with Mirka 23-388-080 adhesive backed discs for most of the removal. Other grits are sometimes useful. Last work is by hand.
Primer/filler is hand shaped. Final finish sand is orbital with finer grit.
Contact directly if you want more info.

I use the same machine for removing gelcote, grinding primer and polishing/waxing both new and old paint. It was an investment of about 500€, i use the machine for all kinds of other grinding jobs than on my glider (furnature, etc) so I consider it as an good investment.
