hi guys, I own a VT 04, Series 2, Costmo, V6.
Pretty much I think the previous owner drove behind a truck, and there are alot of little chips on the bonette, front quarter panels and the front bumper bars. I can live with it, but I really want it looking awesome with the rest of the car.
Ive been qouted about ~1400 to get it resprayed, not sure if thats to muche tc. (im in vic, western surburbs)
My question is is there anything I can do to prepare the car for the respray, i.e to minus the labour costs of the spray painters, so i can get it done cheaper. I just finished uni so have a fair bit of time on my hands, so can get it done good and proper.
To my understanding its, sand back the paint till you hit the primer which is a bluey colour? I would use a rough sand paper type, then to smooth it out, use something very very fine.
Tips or links to a how to would be great, just cant seem to find anything.
Any tips, would be appreciated, or suggestions
