I have sanded down, applied a good rust converter and filled a small area on the top of the wheel arch of my car. I am now ready to apply several coats of primer and paint before polishing.
The questions I have are:
a) What do I use to clean off the old wax in the surrounding area and prepare it for painting? Laquer thinner, denatured alcohol?
b) Once the paint has dried, what grade wet & dry do I use to level the paint before polishing? 600 then 1200? Then do I use rubbing compound before polishing? Any tricks to feathering the edge into an existing painted fender?
c) Are there any good online resources for spray painting 101. I am using an aerosol this time, but may buy a spray gun in the future.
Thanks! This is a great site and an excellent forum.
