Painters supply will mix their auto grade paint into spray cans. The nozzles are better than most, but it's still a spray can. Lots of light coats...

Heh I see. I got to do like whole door panels lol and roof... and quarter panels :(

I like what you did to your front, so nice.

One question though, I have a valence that needs work but I have this weird black textured paint which seems really thick... how should I get it off to the point it looked like yours when it was sanded? should I just save the trouble and get it sand blasted, would that work?

Wow, that looks awesome, you sold me on the IS splitter.

A wire wheel will also work.. I'd recommend trying that before paying someone else. Besides, it will be fun to wheel all that crap off the valence and watch it disappear. :D

One more question, what grit did you use to sand the trim pieces?

400+ personally. I actually barely like scuffing unless I'm using a high build primer after and then a feathering primer to trim paint.

Generally, only if I have to remove rock chips, loose paint, ect, do I go lower than 400.

[Dozyproductions]

thank you mate.

[Cloudbase]

I useda paint stripper wheel front walmart to strip the old paint. It's a plastictype material. Took two wheels to do whole valence. It sucked. Took 5 hours. Wear a mask so you aren't breathing the dust.

I sanded the trim starting with 300 gritt down to a 600 wet sand.
