Zac's 97 needs a new fender. I bought a replacement that is painted white and in good shape. He bought the (ugh) stock turquoise paint to repaint it.
What is the proper way to prep the replacement fender for painting? I know the clearcoat has to come off. Do we need to sand to primer, or just remove the clearcoat?
What's a good sander for this job? I have a 1/4 sheet sander, and a HF palm orbital sander that doesn't much impress me. I have air, but it's limited to 5 CFM. I could use advice on grit numbers, also.
Thanks for the advice. I can fix stuff, but making things look good is not my forte.
