In sanding metal with coated or painted surfaces, a silicon carbide blend on paper sheets or discs is best used in a wet solution that enables the silica particles to be suspended while sanding. This ensures a smoother and more consistent surface finish and reduces graining in the raw metal by floating away removed paint and metal particles.

Wet sanding goes smoother and keeps the process cooler, prolonging the life of the sandpaper. When dry sanding, the paint builds up in the sandpaper so it looses it's abrasiveness and the heat from the friction makes the paint gum up even worse in the sandpaper.

Wet sanding allows the ole paint to be washed away. This makes the job faster and easier.

Keeps the paint from getting hot too from friction.
