hey guys, my paints and body is in pretty shitty shape, dents, fading etc. I wanted to know the process in sanding down a car and redoing it flat black to get it painted at a shop later. What materials would i need? what grits etc. Also is there a preffered flat black to use? reccomends? Ill probably start it in a month or so after classes are done so i have more time. But yea, if i could especially get advice from body workers / painters specifically that would be sick

 

My advice is don't ask for advice on h-t . go to a paint/bodywork site such as - http://www.autobody101.com/forums/

 

werd thanks buddy
