6. Dry the car off completely, then let air dry for an hour. Add the second coat of primer and use the One hundred eighty grit sandpaper and water to sand the car until smooth. Once the holes are fixed and the car is properly primed, you are ready to take your car to the painter.
Sand the top coats of gloss. Chances are, your vehivle Testament hold many coats of distemper. Using the block handwriting sander and a group of Sixty grit sandpaper, commencement sanding the vehivle to gaze how many coats of colouring you are working with. Provided the van has many coats, begin with the Sixty grit sandpaper on the board sander and the orbital sander. Sand the full exterior of the van down to the behind two or three coats of tint.
2. Sand the behind coats of colouring. Once you purchase down to the at the end scarce coats of tint, switch to the One hundred twenty grit sandpaper. Sand right down to the metal, keeping your sanders flat, so as not to gouge the metal of the car. You should start seeing bondo or fiberglass at this point (and if the bondo was applied much later in the car's life, you may see it sooner, depending on how many coats of paint are covering the bondo). As you are working, you can peel the bondo out of the holes in the car.
3. Take stock of the areas that are rusted out. You will need to decide if you would like to replace the entire panel or refill the hole with fiberglass. Replace the "holes" with metal--either by welding in a new panel or by cutting a piece of metal, put the metal inside the hole, and tack weld the metal in. You will then have to grind down the tack welds and go over the hole with fiberglass.
4. Don't forget to do the engine compartment, too. Most show cars have a highly detailed engine compartment, and the easiest way to keep clean is to put a coat of fresh paint on it. Make sure the metal is smooth (use a finer grit wet/dry sandpaper, if needed) and spray the entire exterior with the primer. This will keep the elements off the metal, and also lays the foundation for paint and fiberglass, bondo-glass or bondo.
5. Apply the primer. Tape off the windows, door handles and key lock cylinders. When applying the primer hold the can upright about five inches from the car and using long sweeping strokes paint the outside of the car. Make sure you do not leave any metal exposed to the elements. Let the first coat dry for about one half hour, then using the One hundred eighty grit sandpaper and your hand sanders, wet sand the entire car. Just dip the sandpaper into a bucket of water and keep doing that as it dries out. You can also turn a hose on low and hold it over the area you are sanding. You do not need that much water. A dribble is fine.
At the moment the daily grind begins. You can complete this development with either the bead or sand blaster or you can engage in it with handwriting held sanders. Provided you corner access to the bead or sand blasters, you can save yourself hours of generation. Provided not, you Testament call for fully a sporadic hours to receive this factor done.
