hi, the main thing is preperation, just because its gone back yo bare metal doesnt mean you`ll get a straight body. to get a body straight , its good to use a sanding board , about 40? cm long, my brother has a special long sanding board about 80 -100cm long, just the thing to get a straight panel, it has a velcro base so u have to use velcro backed sanding paper. so i would do what ya auto paint supplier said. mark k
