I'm acquiring a hood and drivers side fender soon, and I'd like to know how to go about stripping the paint on the pane and, assuming there aren't any dents or blemishes to take care of, how to prepare the panel for paint (prime, etc.)? This panel may be in primer for a month or two, so what do I need to do to protect it from the elements, or will primer be sufficient for the time being? I know I'll catch hell for driving around w/primer on it, but it's better than a crumpled fender/hood.
Also, what works better, sanding the paint off, chemical strippers, what? What types of primer should I use?
And for those who want to tell me to take it to a professional, rest easy, if I didn't think I could do it I wouldn't be asking. I want to make this part a little DIY project.
