Hi,
I'm about to buy two new front metal wings for a 17yr car. They're not painted to colour.
The car is showing its age all over. Many scratches and small dents. High mileage. The existing wings have rust holes in them. There's no point in paying for a professional job on the wings alone as the rest of the car is rough so I'm just looking for a very basic paint job.
I'm *not* bothered about:
. Scratches from sanding before painting showing though once done.
. Any orange peel effect.
. The odd run of paint.
. Slight colour differences between new an existing panels.
So my question is; what will happen if you don't sand between paint coats?
Is this necessary to get the one coat of paint to stick to the next, or is it just a finishing thing?
I see many tutorials advising the use of different grades of wet sand paper between coats and this prep accounts for 90% of the work of a re-spray.
I'll be using rattle cans (primer, colour and clear) in a heated garage. It's a flat colour (not metallic).
Thanks.
