Paint prep Noob
Paint prep Noob
Hey guys I'm getting my 88 camaro ready for paint and I'm trying to save some money by doing the prep work myself. Trouble is I have never done this before so I have a few questions
1. Do I have to sand all of the old paint off of the car? And what grit sand paper should I use?
2.I am doing a conversion from my IROC style gfx to the aero gfx can anyone send me a picture of the mounting tab for the front spoiler to fender?
3. I have a fiberglass hood with some spider webbing how do I get them out so it won't show through on the new paint job.
I have a few more questions but that's a good start lol thanks in advance guys.

A good looking paint job comes from the prep. The actual painting is a lot easier than the prep work. I would at least let a body man do the hood most fiberglass hoods require a bit of work to look and fit good.
