Right!
I decided that I really want to get this KG sanded and painted sooner rather than later.
I don't like the flat black applied over red, applied over yellow.
I have anti-rattle nubs for the windows + new seal, cuz there are none on the doors... but I don't see the point of putting that in, just to have to remove or paint around it.
I think my best bet is to just bite the bullet and start sanding the entire car (inside and out) by hand.
I think I will remove the body from the roller-skate.
The trunk and the engine bay have some rust - but nothing too serious I think. Plus - it doesn't have to be super straight.
Little of the interior will be revealed from under the upholstery or carpeting. In fact I am tempted to detail paint the trunk/engine bay/interior myself.
The outside body, I'll have professionally painted for sure but will prep it myself.
I think the best will simply be to sand it down to its original yellow base coat.
Here finally is the question:
What tools would you use to get there?
- Wire wheel for the rust in the engine bay and trunk?
- Random orbital sander (grits?) for the body?
- and a complete set of various length velcro-lined sanding blocks?
And tips before I start?
THANKS!!!!
