i second that too.. btw i thought primer is a special material used so that paint will stick.. and paint alone is another different material..
some guy from other forum told me spraying primer and paint.. and paint (acting as primer) with paint is two different thing and the primer one will be more resistant D:

.. hard to explained . The primier is already on the base. Since u already sand off the stock paint on the surface, u may proceed with ur own color of paint (spraying paint on paint as u mention above is like spraying a layer of paint )

can the polishing compound remove the mark and scratch left by 2000 grit sanding? i already bought Autosol Metal polish. Really no need rubbing compound ?

yup! it can . not sure abt autosol. i use T-cut Color restorer by carplan.. im quite happy with the result

here is the result :



its metallic black & red sticker. The rest is just the reflection.

wow, very shiny

u use power tool or juz with bare hand, i mean polishing? do u apply swirl remover after polish? can share some tips and technique on how to polish properly ?

juz bare hands. i use 2000 grid sand paper on a sponge, water & bathing soap. never ever apply presure while sanding. (please keep in mind, ure sanding just the surface). sanding just to make the surface flat. after sanding, wash it well & u'll have a very dull result. nothing to worried about polish will fix it .

errr what is swirl remover??

lol, swirl remover is a compound to remove swirl. i try polish on a unwanted panel, but when observe closely, there are some tiny swirl on the surface... , how much pressure when polishing? polish until the compound dry out on surface?

No presure at all (tt why i use sponge to avoid any accidentally pressure + i do the sanding job in a bathroom while bathing with shower is on ), if u affraid to sand, use a higher number of grid. then, polish till it rise & shine ;P

ohh...heheh. just polish as u polish ur shoe

i did not have any experience on polishing...T_T

do u have any remaining spray paint?? spray it on something else & practice on it

that a good idea, but clear coat need 2 days to cure...nvm, juz get something to do while waiting

so hows the progress

now tape the edge of my front bezel before sanding
