After I prep and repair my supra's body I am doing this and shanging the color to a dark grey. Hopefully I will have the whole car done in about 2 months

lees summit, mo
well, if you want to do it right, get an orbital sander, used for stripping paint, use 80 grit, once you are to bare metal, it doesnt take all that long, go back over it with a d.a. sander ( dual action 6 inch) with 80 grit, do the body work, then da the whole thing 180 grit, then prime the whole thing ( 3 coats) with a long block, sand by hand with 180, 220, then 320, then when you paint, make sure you get 2 good coats of sealer before the base coat
