Hi All,

I stripped my '72 Charger which I have owned since 1986 down to bare metal and I used a bunch of 3M discs (as seen on garage floor)attached to my drill to get the job done. I don't own a compressor or paint guns or a DA sander (maybe I should invest) mainly because of funds.

With kind of a half-hearted effort I used the red Scotch-Brite pads on some parts of the quarters to scuff them a bit because the metal is really really smooth. I sprayed on Spray Max's 2K Epoxy Primer, comes in a spray can. It adhere's really well except for where it is peeling off, lol.

If I am going to sand by hand what grit of sandpaper should I be using or should I just make more of an effort with the Scotch-brite pads? I've done a search and didn't really find the answers I was looking for, thanks in advance for any help.



The taillpanel is painted with Rust Bullet, in case you were wondering.
