(help) Sanding down a bonnet

what sandpaper shud i use to sand down mi bonnet , sum 1 sed i onli need to take off the top coat i duno if this is true never dun it b4 , help please

Wet and dry running up the grades so starting rough and going to fine, prob start on P120 finish up on P1200 or somet like that, need to have it nice and baby bum smooth then primer, sand that down with the 1200 then your paint on there.

are you repairing any bits? or just getting ready for primer and top coat?

If you're prepping, don't use sandpaper, use scothchbrite (halfords do it) until the panel has no shine left on it

P120 <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_surprised.gif" alt="" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o --> if you're using paper start about p600 otherwise it'll leave mark that are only noticeable when painted and laquered.

My bad lol, from the past using the rough stuff first takes the coats of big time then you just sand like crazy with the higher ones lol? <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_confused.gif" alt="" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->
