get more pics up bro...

as for grit, start at 120, move up to 200, then 400, then shoot filler primer after that is super smooth. then wet san filler primer with 400 and move forward from there

...

i would hand sand it. any flat area's maybe, but most of it is curved and if your not too experienced you could make plenty of flat spots. i haven't smoothed my interior yet, but i plan on doing it by hand. easier for me to feel how it's going.

cool man just started dash and 3rd door with 120. well see how the first pieces turn out!

Milky4204 · 08-03-2008, 10:57 PM

I just got all my stuff painted last weekend. It took a long as time to sand everything. I started with 80 and hit it hard. Then went to 120, 220. Then I sprayed my slick sand on everything and sanded it back out with 180 and 220. Then sprayed it again with slick sand. There was still a few more pieces that needed to be sanded so I did them again. Wet sanded everything with 600 real good then sprayed a sealer on it right before the paint was layed.

tuckn22 · 08-03-2008, 11:37 PM

ya i started with 80 on the da and the da makes quick work. then go to 220, then 320 and prime. put 3-4 coats of primer on it then sand down with 320 and finish it off with 600. i had to prime my sh*t once since i removed all the texture and not filled them. Make sure you remove the texture and not just fill with primer.

boricua4_life · 08-04-2008, 10:26 AM

so does anyone have pics of what they should look like in the different stages of sanding? plus theres various grits people use. i started with 120. whats the next best grit to go with? pics.?

might have been answered but what wheels are these

boricua4_life · 08-05-2008, 12:09 AM

check a couple pages back for the wheels.

so does anyone have any suggestions on what grit to use next because 120 seems to be taken forever! maybe 80? help me out guys.

heres what it looks like now.

Big_Bake · 08-05-2008, 01:15 AM

just remember the lower grit will leave bigger scratches that you will still have to sand out with high grits. it's not an easy process, pretty time consuming. on the plus side it's a fairly cheap project compared to everything else going on with your truck.

yeah no shit right! lol so should i stay with 120 or go with 80 then 120 and move up.

stay at 120, the 80 will scratch into the plastic...

antiflag8737 · 08-05-2008, 03:00 PM

i do all my parts 80 to 180 to 220 to 320 then adhesion promotor and primer. but then again i do all my snading with a DA. not by hand. you can move to 80 but like said above you are going to have to sand more with the finer grits to get the 80 scratch out. hope this helps. heres one i just finished up.

boricua4_life · 08-05-2008, 03:07 PM

damn thats sick! so guessing i should just stay with 120 considering its gonna be harder to get the scratches off. btw what kind of car is that.

antiflag8737 · 08-05-2008, 06:24 PM

that is an 08 f-150.. i smoothed and painted EVERY plastic piece in the interior. right now its at my friends shop getting a SFBD for 26's. im sure you will see it when its done. sport truck and truckin already want to shoot it, and its not even done yet....hahah

tuckn22 · 08-05-2008, 10:41 PM

i would start with 80 on a da and then 180 then finally 320. make sure you are sanding the texture completely off. DO NOT FILL TEXTURE WITH PRIMER. your s

tuckn22 · 08-05-2008, 10:43 PM

f*ck hit the wrong kit. here are some pics of mine.

swtlownoma · 08-07-2008, 12:43 AM

that looks good, nice work man, and as for the sanding, stay with the 120 and move up from there, take the time and do it right, dont make life harder, lol, 80 is way to rough, everyone is right, stick with the 120. good job, looks good.

Woody22 · 08-07-2008, 12:58 AM

cant you use high build primer.

antiflag8737 · 08-07-2008, 11:30 PM

yeah you have to... the problem with priming over 80 grit scratches in plastic is when you sand, it makes little hairs of plastic on the surface. when you prime over these and sand the primer you can still feel them. then you would have to re-prime.

rooster52478 · 08-07-2008, 11:59 PM

Any updates on the BD?

and there will be bad bad shrinkage and the 80 grit scratches will show when everything cures out all the way
