Auto body repair & detailing: bondo,prep and paint, dodge diplomat, scratch pad


Question
Mike and lisa,I have a 84 dodge diplomat,I know how to pull the dents(done)and bondo.What type,grades of paper should I use for the various stages of sanding and painting?Thanks,Doug

Answer
Doug,
 Use 80 grit first then go to 180 grit, either on a DA or fileboard.  Apply primer and a guidecoat over the primer,
sand with 320 grit until one color again.  Use a scratch pad on the rest of the panel and use a chemical wipedown, then you are ready to refinish.
Thank you,
Mike and Lisa
