The paint will adhere better if you sand it. So it's up to you really.

 

do you think it would come out better if i sanded it then started the whole prosces over

Yeah it will turn out better, and last longer. If you have the time and don't mind sanding off what you've already done, you should sand it.

 

what grit sand paper should i use? since i dont know **** about sandpaper

 

lol, I would just go with 1000 grit wet. Sand it till the finish is dull, wash it real good, dry it off then spray it.

 

cool thanx ill start on thet when i get home tonight

 

bump

 

Quick question?? do you plan on leaving the car flat black??

 

yeah until i get enough money to buy paint and get a friend to paint ait and do the body work

 

sorry for the shitty camera phone pictures thats all i can afford

well i started sanding the passenger side


and passenger side rear quarter panel


and now how the paint looks

 

wow I hope you arent sanding the whole car with a block. that would fucken suck ***.

 

yeah dude. if you have a friend that paints, chances are they have a da. makes the whole process so much easier

 

well i was only gonna do the passanger side since the paint thats already on it was sticking since i didnt sand it in the first place

 

You know whenever you respray your car your gonna have to strip all that paint that you are putting on it or it will peel. If your gonna 1000 it you might as well just use a red scuff pad.

 

yeah i know im gonna have to get all the paint of when i repaint the car i just wanted it to look half way decent for the mean time since it was 3 diffrent colors.
