Part 1: Hi. Pls I need help. I've been walking on snow, winter storms for many years cuz I dont have a car and can't afford to buy one since I didn't have a job for awhile. Now I got a job and I bought a $600.00 car with my very first pay cheque. A 1999 Dodge Intrepid with 117.00 km on it. I bought it from a Chrysler/Dodge dealer. They guaranteed me the mileage is genuine since the car previous owner was an old woman. Anyways, but the problem is the paint job on the car. It's all feeling off, sunburned paint, etc. I had a friend(used to be, not anymore, since I found out that he was using the materials I bought for my car on other people's car he was painting) and so, he and I started work on the car. It's all sanded now, parts that needs to be filled with stuff is done. But since I discovered that he was robbing me. He walked out of HELPING me do my car. Now I am stucked, where do I go from here? What should I do next. I'm very seen the DIY proceedures but still nervous if I would do the right thing. I can send you pictures of the car so you can see and maybe you can give me an advice on how to go about it. I am here in Canada. And I just can't find any help from anyone here. Thank you.

This video is the area of advice I was hoping for, I want to remove the interior silver trim panels and repaint them with a Duplicolor colour match to my car and a Duplicolor plastic primer. The hand grips on the door have some light marks and the silver is rubbed down to black. From what I've gathered, I should use a 4-600 grit wet dry sandpaper and lightly go over it and remove any raised surfaces be it paint or the plastic for some reason. So, remove panels, sand it back a bit, prime the trim pieces, sand that back a bit, go over with my primary colour then, clear coat? I'm in no way ready to attempt with any confidence my vehicles paint damage yet in fear I make it worse but I have undercoated alot of models and miniatures in hobbying so I feel I can do the interior trims well to start with. Have I missed any steps? And yes chances are I'll be looking closer at your site when it comes to deciding if fixing my own paint damage on the exterior is realistic at home without a closed booth to paint in or if I should bite the bullet and compare either straight up swapping the panel with a colour matched wrecked vehicles and strip it off and just swap it into mine vs getting it fixed at a body shop, I just don't like the idea of being charged for work that wasn't necessary but they insist it was. (Curb rash from prior owner on front passenger bumper) - a like and subscribe given as I'm doing a video diary (early stages, need to edit and talk less or stick to points, it's just one point, shoot and upload from my mobile atm), when it comes to painting the trims I'll be linking this video as the advise followed as well as talking about my personal experiences during the process but giving you full credit of where I got my advice from 😉 really good simple video more DIY people would do well to listen too, people like me are not the professionals, were just happy to give things a go and learn. Get your advice fe industry experts not people using backyard approaches thinking it's the way to do it.

@ZIPPOMANIAC6 жыл бұрын
Hi, a very important question below which makes a lot of difference: When you mean 400 grit, which abrasive grading scale does your sandpaper fall under? CAMI (US) or FEPA (EU/International)?See this chart for explanation: goo.gl/images/wj9FSh400 CAMI is equivalent to FEPA P600-P800 grit.I’m from Singapore, we follow FEPA grading. Although it seems most manufacturers/brands even in the US has since many years ago adopted the FEPA grading, it is not certain what sandpaper you are using and hence I wish you could clarify. Thanks! PS, what brand of sandpaper do you use? Maybe that will give some clues. Don’t assume the lack of the letter “P” means it CAMI. Sometimes manufacturers don’t add in the letter by default.

Hey Man! You could use 400 grit, the finer the better coz you don’t want to go too fine but 400 is literally the perfect sand scratch grit to paint base coat clear coat or single stage over. Or you could actually go rougher coarser for like a 380 or a 360 if you’re doing a single stage. Single-stage is really thick and it fills but why not just go with 400. For my latest van project I finished it off with 400 that’s why it lay down so nice. GET more FREE Auto Body Training Guides and Videos at www.learnautobodyandpaint.com/

i am doing a headlight reclear project, would sanding it down to 800 be okay? im scared the clear coat wont sit well with 400 grit and wont cause a transparent look. i orbital sanded the clear off with 320, wet sanded with 400, 600, 800, getting ready for clear. does that sound about right?
