A few paint and panel tips for the noobies

Always do any and all repairs before you start sanding
Make sure you 'rough up' any areas that need filler, knock the top off the filler before it goes rock hard
Always sand with a block or board... Finger and palm marks show through the top coats.. Use a higher grade paper than you think, although it takes longer you dont leave any sanding marks
Buy twice as much prepsol and tac rags to do the job, you can't clean the surface enough times
When painting start with the roof, boot and bonnet..Leave the sides to last.. You don't want to drag the airline over your fresh paint
Treat any plastics or rubber with an adhesive promoter before you apply the undercoat.
