then u need paint stripper... easier to remove using it....

u hv 800 grit...?600 is rough i think...
i think 800 can minimize the scratches...then 1k grit...
after spraying will gone...

ur final colour is glossy or matte...?

so its glossy...
ok glossy type might take longer time to dry...
so patient is the key word...

sanding is up to u....harder u get tired quickly....
lightly u'll take long time to finish...
tips: take a matchbox size thing, cut the sandpaper length size to the matchbox and rap it around the box...its easier to do the sanding....

the primer just 1 thin layer...enough...
its glossy paint so i think 2 layer would be enough...
first layer just to cover all surface...can see the primer also no problem...
try spraying 1 way, 1 time per line....
second layer to bring up the glossy of the paint....
make sure each layer is dry enough to do another layer....

try on another surface first if u not sure...trial n error...

DPI Grey is ur primer...?
if u spray and the surface is rough, u can sand it...
i think that 1 dont give u a rough surface...

yup...
try on something else first before u do on the casing....

found a clip in youtube...

u should sand the surface first before u do the primer...
let the primer dry before u sand it...

better let it for 24hr...
