new body kit
hey guys just got my new side skirts and front bumper fitted. now i am trying to get it sanded and primered. does anyone know what grit sand paper, other tools, and the process of sanding and primer?
|
Your really going to trust what some random people tell you on an rx-8 forum? Do some proper research man.
|
i have done research this is more of a conformation post im looking at wet sanding it at 400 grit and then moving up cleaning with wax remover and degreaser and moving to 600 grit. just wanted to see if anyone else has done this for tips and advice
|
400 for primer, nothing less than 2000 on clear, careful of edges and accent lines as you can sand through them fast.

Rookies and body work do not go well together.

What happened to your old front end by any chance? Was that the authentic mazdaspeed bumper? Do you still have it?!

Take it to a body shop and let them do it.

this is not the forum I used to see... bunch of naysayers. I respect him more for trying to get advice from a strong community and trying to learn how to do the work on his own - literally built vs bought.
