i would say no. lol im sure my machine polisher runs at 3000 rpm and the grinders 13000 rpm. so im sure it would rip through the paint

You can get lower speed ones, just look for the ones that says Polisher in the title, having adjustable speed is very good and help fulltho.

lol burn paint with grinder speeds, needs to be around 3000rpm to polish.
get a vairable speed grinder as cheapest polisher/sander is about £70 worth it though
