Couple of Questions about painting sheet metal
Bear with me as I've never painted anything on a car, yet.
I'm inthe process of repairing the vinyl header on the top of my convertible.
I've had the metal headers (that go on the inside where the sun visor is) media blasted.
I plan on repainting them satin black. My questons are:
Is there a special cleaner I need to use before priming?
Once primed, do I need to sand before paint? If so what grit?
Once painted do I need to do anything else besides let dry?
Primer and painting, I don't have any paint tools, but assume that this small task can be handled with spray paint. If I'm right on spray painting what brand of paint should I get.
Did I forget to ask anything?
Thanx, in advance.
