2-3/4" x 16" VAC A275 Body File Sanding Sheets NorGrip P180 Grit - Norton Company

The Norton 31654 VAC A275 Body File Sanding Sheets are engineered for professional-grade precision and consistent performance in collision repair and automotive refinishing. These P180 NorGrip sheets provide efficient dust extraction and deliver uniform scratch patterns across various substrates, including steel, aluminum, and composite panels, crucial for preparing surfaces prior to primer application.

Key Features

• NorGrip Hook & Loop Backing: Ensures fast, secure attachment to compatible body file boards, allowing for stable sanding passes and quick sheet changes in demanding workshop environments.
• P180 Grit for Preparation and Refinement: This P-graded grit is ideal for featheredging, refining body filler, and efficiently leveling repair areas, preparing surfaces effectively for primer application or finer grits.
• A275 Abrasive Construction: Features a premium, P-graded, heat-treated aluminum oxide abrasive that delivers a consistent surface finish and exceptional performance on all surfaces and coatings. Its unique fiber-reinforced, B-weight latex-saturated backing provides enhanced tear strength and flexibility, while a non-pigmented, water-based stearate coating resists clogging and loading, extending abrasive life.
• VAC Hole Pattern for Dust Extraction: Optimized to integrate with vacuum body file tools, this hole pattern promotes a cleaner work surface, enhances visibility, and extends the operational life of the abrasive sheet.
• Standard Body File Size: The 2-3/4" x 16" format ensures compatibility with common longboard and body file tools, making it suitable for preparing large flat or contoured panels such as doors, quarter panels, hoods, and box sides.

Applications

• Shaping and leveling body filler on passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles.
• Feathering paint edges and smoothing repair transitions prior to primer application.
• Light to moderate material removal on OEM finishes, body fillers, putties, plastics, and composites during panel repair.
• Intermediate surface refinement between coarse shaping and final sanding stages in professional collision repair workflows.
