What do you need to do a good prep job, i wanna do it myself save some money....how do you do it, steps, links....anything would help

 

do you mean taking the old paint off or just making the old paint ready for more?

 

takin off the old paint, gettin it ready for the new paint, i want it to look good

WTF!!!!!! LoL


well bro to prep a car
I guess the way my dad told me for my ride was

1.find dents if any
2.remove what is not going to be paint or mask if u lazy or can't get it off
3.sand with 400 grade wet sand paper not dry
4.then clean up the mess u did


sorry it ain't all correct format but something for u to start off with

 

how long do i sand it for? and all i need to do is sand everything?

 

it be better if u use air sander instead of by using hands

 

well i do model cars sometimes... a few years ago i was doing one and the spray can had a weird nozel on it.. i thought i had it the right way but i didnt... it wasnt to cool... it was black car paint... i think it might have been high temp or anti rust...

i washed it out and i see ok now...

 

to get the paint off easy down to the metal you should use some aircraft remover, put it on and wait like 15 mins and scrape it off works great
