alright.... so... the hood,front bumper,and headlight covers are white on my 90 Lude... and I was goin to bring it to Dan at Screamin Paint Works for the sand and spray for a grand... but then I kept thinking its got 300XXXK and the thing isn't worth to paint...bu I love this car and I cannot live with it being a 2 colored car... and after reading many posts here on beyond.. i decided to paint it my self... wasn;t looking at and super great job.. just do its one color... I have zero exprience and this it what i have done so far
Some notes
The hood has some minor dents and semi larged paint chips... no bigger the a diameter of 2-3Inches... so I sanded it all down with some 180 grit paper to get some of those scratched and what not out..... then primer.... will be using 400girt paper before the paint or possible 320grit...
so my question is.... when I sprayed it in certian spots randomly over the hood... I have little tiny circles of spots where the primer won't stick... Is that because I didn't sanded it down well in those areas?... so far I just sprayed more primer on those apot of an hour of frying to fill them up... adn they are covered but will it pop out in the future??? should I resand that area and reprimer it? or possible use bondo?
And can any recommed a proper sanding method? I used a sanding block and hand sand some parts... mainly the block on the flat surfaces....but no special technique..
Anyone with any pointers would be great... again... .not looking for great work here... just decent enough to get a normal look.. and figured i'd get some handskill in the autobody world.. :) once i get the hang of this I will atempt to fix the minor rust issues i have... Will try to post some pics up of the progress so you guys have a better look...
P.S. I'm using Tremclad rust primer... and tremclad rust paint...
