220??
i'm gonna rough up my old paint b4 i take the car to get painted..........its all in good shape, but its faded to hell and my front end is in primer
so far, i primed the front fender and the pass. side GFX and then wetsanded them with 400 grit they came out really smooth, but i still have some little crevices in them, whats the best way to get these crevices out?

You need to Primer those crevices again and spray some Guide coat on and re-blocksand the primered areas with 400 wet. The reason you use Primer is to fill in little imperfections in the surface. Wet sand the entire car with 400 grit to prepare it for paint.

Jacko, can you lay off the caps lock please?
Body filler (Bondo being one) is usually for the bigger jobs, you need some glaze puddy, it's like body filler only thinner. It would do a better job for filling in chips and small dings.
