| [* black] Use a power sander with a low-grit sand paper to strip the old paint off the surface of your vehicle. Use a sanding block or just the sand paper to reach small or hard-to-get places. | |
| - | [* black] Typically, 40 grit sand paper will remove paint very efficiently. However, this will leave a very rough finish. It is recommended that you use 40 grit sand paper to do the initial paint stripping, and then use a higher grit sand paper (at least 120) to achieve a smooth finish. The higher the sand paper grit number, the smoother the finish will be. |
| + | [* black] Make the first pass with at least 100 grit, possibly even as low as 40 grit sandpaper. Coarser grits will remove the paint efficiently, but leave a very rough finish. |
| + | [* black] Make a second pass with finer sandpaper (200 grit), to reduce the scratches and smooth out the body. |
| + | [* black] Repeat the procedure with 400, 800, and 1500 grit sandpaper to make the car's surface super-smooth. Spend a good amount of time with each grit, as it will be much harder to remove the deep scratches down the line. |
| [* black] Wipe off the sanding dust occasionally to help speed the sanding process. |
