My fender, front bumper and hood all need painted. I just bought the car and the guy before me hit a deer and replaced all of these parts. I am just wondering some good prep work to do for the body before i painted it.

Like what grit sand paper in what order. How many coats of primer, paint, and clear. Any links or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

anyone...

 

oh lord...ummmm

Dood, I would recommend have it professionally done.
If you are adament on doing it yourself, please do
a few months of research and hands on.

Otherwise, your results will disappoint you.

 

If you dont have any experience on doing this, try some practice runs on old fenders, hood, etc etc.

 

first of all...i plan on doing it on an old trunk lid i have laying around before i do it on the car. Second i'm just needing some advice or what grit sand paper and stuff for the prep work or any links for this kind of stuff. I don't need people saying i should get it professionally done.

This is not a show car so i'm not looking for best quality i'm just needing it painted so it doesn't look as bad. And i don't have the $$ to go out and spend it on a nice paint job otherwise i would. I have other priorites other than my car.
