Hydro dipping a Chainsaw

What happens here

To ensure the hydro-dip paint adheres well, scuff the surfaces of all the cleaned parts with fine-grit sandpaper or a scuff pad. The goal is to create a slightly rough surface for the paint to grip. The technique of 'cross-hatch' scuffing, where you sand in multiple directions, is recommended for optimal adhesion. After scuffing, wipe down the parts again to remove any dust.

Goal: Create a textured surface for better paint adhesion.
