Musturd Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Some really good prep work, if your not familiar with it you really need to take your time, a paint job is only as good as its prep reguardless who sprays the paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 after researching different methods of preping and maybe talking to body shops about what grits of sand paper, types of etching primer if you have any sort of rust and body work, what kind of base and clear they recommend...etc.i would go to a junkyard/scrapyard and buy a cheap fender. get it home, prep it, base and clear coat it, wet sand, buff and polish it maybe more than once to get a good feel for the process. buy doing this you'll use more material and have to pay for a fender but you will end up with a better paint job and less disaster to deal with, lol.
