what grit sand paper should I use before the primer?

[onesojourner]

I am sure I am going to have more questions but what grit paper do I need to use before I lay the primer? Does any one know a website that has some good write ups on painting prep ect? I have read through all the threads in the tech section.

nick gave me some good tips in my build thread if you can find it

Depends on what type of primmer you're using?

 

[onesojourner]

I don't need a filler type primer. The fiberglass is smooth as a babies butt so I will be using something fairly thin.

I'd recommend 2-part epoxy primer because it's hard to sand through and it adheres very well.

320 or 400 grit with an orbital palm sander would be fine if the primer is going over it.

Wet sand with 400

400! We got 3 we are getting ready to paint, who is painting yours?

 

[onesojourner]

I am just painting the hood. I am doing it myself. What are yours going to look like when they are done?

Will just reiterate it but wet sand at 400

X2, I blocked it.

your on the right track, wet sand with 400 and then after clear, if you need to take out any orange peel wet sand with 1500 or if its a darker color use 2000 grit then buff it out and itll be lookin sweet.
