Vince Noir Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Quick one guys, Do you or do you not sand back metallic paint once you've shot it on with a few coats? I'm just respraying a wing mirror after someone kindly scuffed it for me :rolleyes: Prepped it properly and primed it, sanded and keyed the prime too. Pointers welcomed cheers guys!
