hey guys, i dont know if you've already seen the thread about my new "project DD" jeep, but i got one for $150 bucks in great RUNNING condition. the paints pretty ugly now and there are some rusty metal spots, so ive been sanding and bondoing to get it nice and flush for painting.
heres my questions
1) how much of the origional paint do i need to sand down? I figured if i sanded down through the clear coat i should be fine, and wouldnt have to prime the whole thing.
2) how do the rattle can jobs come out. I want to pick a nice calm low humidity day, with no wind so it comes out even, but will a flat color look nice and shiney after a clear coat layer is put on? i dont really like the flat color look, and i know if i get a gloss that it will be blotchy...
Thanks guys, in advance
