DIY Fender Painting - Part 1 - Sanding

In this video, I take a junkyard fender and explain the process of properly sanding it down (by hand) in preparation for paint. Packed with tips, from start to finish, there is something for everyone!

Great work. Future reference though when sending a metal finder use a 320 to 400 grit before priming. If you use anything over a 400 grit primer will have trouble sticking.

You won’t have trouble sticking over 400- can go up to 800, doing it for years ……. O cone backs

[@richreece8840]

Just use 180-320 to prime

[@veritas2022]

Do you wanna sand down to the primer or just sand the clear coat off?

[@scottpdotnet]

It depends on the condition of the paint. If it isn't chipped/flaking off and looks to be a good base, don't worry about taking it down to the primer.
