So I am thinking next year maybe a respray. I'm sick of my dad giving me sh** for the small dents and dings.
My car has been resprayed at least twice, both times the factory color. When I'm prepping for the respray, should I sand down the previous layers to bare metal or the original layer? My thought is to leave the layers...they add a little weight but protect from rust. Thoughts? |

QUOTE(porschefile2010 @ Apr 3 2012, 12:19 PM)  Whats a paintless dent Rick? I know you asked Rick for the answer, I have seen pictures before and after...pretty amazing. They pock and prod the metal at the exact dent location with just enough pressure to eliminate the dent. From Wikipedia - 'The most common methods of paintless dent repair utilize metal rods and body picks to push the dents out from the under side of the body panel. Additionally, glue and a specially designed tab may be used from the outside of the panel to pull the dents out. Paintless dent removal takes years to learn; it is more of an art than a specific set of skills...' Dave |
