Sanding/Painting Help - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #52125 2 posts Started by Jlacker3
Hey guys, my roof on my celica is awful looking! I got some of the oxidation off, but now it looks like it's coming back worse. I can't afford a paint job for a couple of years so should I just sand it/prime and spray paint? It's stock silver so I can probably just use the rustoleum silver metal spray paint that I have.

Are there any how-to's on sanding a car and painting tips? I don't have a clue about how to do it. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
first buy an orbital buffer and some polishing compound and try to buff it out before you re-spray.
you can normally get that show room shine back unless it is badly pitted, then you can use alot of
really good wax

if that doesn't work then you will probably need to lightly sand and repaint...
