What do you use to sand before painting? Maybe not on the hood this time, but when you do it next time?

I'm gonna try 120 grit on a 6" da sander then follow up with 220, 400, 600 sanding with blocks and pads before I primer it.


The 120 is going to be fairly aggressive with the DA. It can easily to go thru the paint into the gelcoat and can leave dips in the surface if you go after chips too hard.

You may want to try the 220 with the DA first.

Using 2 different color primers (spray cans) when blocking will really highlite the peaks and valleys.
