    Masked
    Griot's 6" DA
    Griot's 3" DA
    Uber / Lake Country Yellow Foam Pads

    I believe the inner tails were plastic instead of glass like the outer tails. Therefore they looked worse and wouldn't correct as well in the end. More on that later...

    Nice job! I was wondering what light you are using for paint inspection and 50/50 shots. Thanks!
