Preperation
Any paint job can only be as good as the prep work done before painting. Skimp at this part and your paint job will look skimped on.
- Tape up the car and remove extra trim. For trim either tape it up or wedge fishing line or if possible just take off altogether.
- Clean the paint by wiping down the car with lacquer thinner. Use a lint-free cloth like an old t-shirt.
- Sand with 80, 100, 220, and finally 400 grit.
- Power tools do not work well for edges, so only use them on large flat areas.
- Use a sanding block to keep everything even.

I have some unknown to me (previous owner) brand of primer. I am getting ready to do some bondo work.
Does it matter what kind of primer I use over the bondo? Thanks |

If there's rust what is a good way to fix? Sand it down? I have some stuff I bought that's in a blue bottle that turns the rust kinda white looking and supposedly makes it paintable, any thoughts on this? I'm thinking of using your method to paint and old truck I'm fixing up to drive, I keep getting quotes from $4000 to $7000 to paint it, I just wanna drive it and have it look nice, not show it at World of Wheels ya know.
