''My father said they use better sand whatever that means.''
probably means a finer grade of sand or material being used. finer means less sanding so body shop cost goes down.
what ever you have it blasted w/ is your choice and what is available for your pocket book.
do it once and be done w/ it. i say ! ! ! Go to a reputible shop.
ASK the painter what he wants B-4 you do anything.
honestly i forgot what it cost to have carolines whole truck done
it was not cheap, but
the shop blasted and primered everything everywhere b4 i picked it all up. the paint shop knows the primer is compatable
w/ what he paints with. so no problems w/ like vs unlike products.
i didn't have to, nor do i have, the tools needed to spray primers.
so what is it worth for you to do what you can vs. having it ALL done and ready for the paint shop.
