    need to lightly sand the primer coat too, again giving the paint a tooth to grab onto.

    Wanna be really simple about it? Just use a Scotch-Brite pad and you will be fine.

    These are great for prepping wheels for paint too. Just make sure you clean the surface well afterward to remove impurities. I recommend Prep-Sol and some tack cloth.

    Thanks for all the Info.

    I sanded it down with 400 Wet the otherday. After i stripped all the colored paint off with 120. Will be buying some plastic primer this week then sanding it like Rowhard said then painting it with the Bumper Black stuff.

    Then time to put my Vx backtogether
