G'day all Well it finaly happened i spat the shits with the panel beater today the guy has had the car for nearly six months and has come up with more excuses than my kids trying to get out of washing up after tea Grin so i went and got it back so what i am asking is what is the best way to strip the car back to bare metal at home in the shed like what is the best thing to use orbital sander or hand sanding i dont have any way of getting the car sandblasted so doing it my self will be more rewarding what is the better primer how does high fill work and how should it  all be done i know it is a lot to ask but i dont want to stuff it up and have to do it again

Damo58 PAINT STRIPPER  strip the roof first and then clean it up with a nylon scourer and thinners then Deoxidine  {metal conditioner] to remove any rust that has formed The next step will depend on the type of paint that you chose 1K or 2k  if 1k etch prime if 2K wash primer then move on to the quarter panels and so on till all the shell is in either etch or wash primer  OR the alternitave  I get this clear liquid rust preventive sealer that the sand blaster uses after he blasts to stop it rusting you can use it to seal the metal till you get back to repairs will protect it for a couple of years if the car is stored indoors  and can be brushed or sprayed on .......FC427.......

As I lay rubber down the street I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide please dear god protect my ride
