I'm not sure how to prep it for my first coat of primer. I have sanded on it with some 100 grit, which knocks the rust off but it isn't the shinny metal I want to see. How best to prep for paint. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 224 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 224 | If you still have some surface rust, keep sanding.
I used 60 grit for the heavy stuff by hand, but I preferred using a sanding wheel with my angle grinder for the bulk of the work.
