Can someone confirm wif me again the steps are as following?

i) Cut out the plastic piece from the runner

ii) Sand it with grade 400 first then proceed with either 600 or 800 grade paper

iii) Apply Mr Surfacer which is a primer (not very sure what is the difference between Mr Surface 500/1000/1200)

iv) Start painting (it's okay to use Acrylic type?)

v) Weathering (chalk pastel will do fine rite?)

vi) Put on the decal?

vii) Apply Topcoat (Flat version if u prefer dull and glossy if u like shinny)

I'm juz a newbie
