I have a front bumper and a wing needing painting and was going to do it myself. I'll o as far as rubbing the panels down and sorting out some scratches but will leave the bodyshop to do the rest. They said they will knock down the price a bit if I do. I'm a little short on money so figure why not.
Can anyone offer any advice on preparing panels ?
So far I have read to should just use a fine wet and dry paper and sllowly progress to a finer grade. Fill and rub down any scratches etc. Then rub it down again. Buy an aerosole of primer (what type?) is suitable for a wing and a bumper. Then dust the panels with it and fine any problems and rub then down as when paint goes on every lttle mark becomes obvious. Finally wash it up and take it to the body shop. So far thats all I know and have read. No idea if this is correct or not ?
Anyone ever done this kinda work and can give me some info on it ?
