I have all my rotten metal replaced with solid metal now and straightened the panels. I am ready to sand the bare metal and apply body filler to get the imperfections flush. What grit sand paper do I use to prep for primer? I did a search on the internet and saw 80 grit mentioned. Is that what most guys use?


This is my first project truck, I have done some work on restoring my antique tractor so I am very inexperienced. On the tractor I used epoxy primer and enamel tractor paint from AGCO on that project. Any good references on painting would be very helpful.
