Initially i was just going to wetsand the old paint, which was sprayed around 5 years ago, and do a quick color change on the car, but the body gaps, doors, and hood needed attention. So, now i need to scuff the entire car and then spray with SPI epoxy.
First question: What grit should i use and can i block the car by hand? Due to the sharp lines of the Corvette body, i would like to avoid using a mechanical sander if possible. I've already wet sanded the entire body with 600 grit, but as mentioned, initially i had just planned on doing a color change.
Second question: From what i understand, i need to sand the areas where i did body work with a courser grit sandpaper. Should i spray these areas with two coats of SPI epoxy first, wetsand, then spray the entire car with another coat the next day?
Sorry to be naive, i am new to bodywork and paint!
Thanks
Body work has been done on and around the doors, headlamps, hood, lower valance, and roof. The hood is new
