hi, if you go to 2pak u dont  have to go back to bare metal, in fact u can use 2pak straight over acrylic primer.  its better if u use 2 pak primer as well, cause it fills  a heck of alot better than acrylic primer etc.... all u have to do is grind back any body work that has crows feet, lifting  body filler, flacking paint etc.....  i am not too sure on the price on 2 pack primer, but i think that its about 150-200 dollars for 4 litres including hardner, but depends alot on brand.
 as for how  much it would all cost depends onb the condition of car. large  tin of body filler is around 35-45 dollars, then you have paper etc...
 use 36 grit  to get a decent shape of bog, then go over  it with 80 or 120 dry rub then put primer over that.
i use a longboard with the 36 grit on that.

hi, i would use around 400-600  wet`n dry.  if its  too smooth the paint wont stick  properly.  my brother  has gone away for holidays , and he would have a pretty good idea of whats wot.  if you still need info  he`ll be back on 16th  jan.
  acrylic is getting a bit old hat now,  you are better off using 2-pack.  e.g protec 604 paint..

does anyone here know much about paintint a 1600?
 
my paint is new but quite rough.
 
i am thinking of doing an acrylic job, well getting someone to spray it for me.
 
If i did the prep work which is just sanding back the car with 800 wet and dry to take the shine off.......i'm guessing that is all...please tell me if i am wrong, How much should i pay for the labour and paint....assuming that i don't use a booth?
 
How much should i pay for paint?
I was told it was group 4 paint and thus expensive....it is a ford midnight blue that i am doing......any help is appreciated guys.
 
regards
