I'm in the process of stripping a set of vending machines down to bare metal to repaint. It will be a rattle can paint job. I'm behind schedule on this install and it's a high-end account, so I want to nail this. I've already screwed up once painting these.
I consider myself a pretty decent DIY'er, but painting of any type has always been a trouble spot for me. I used 80 grit sandpaper to remove the old paint. Is it necessary to sand the bare metal with a finer grit before priming? If so, what grit should I go down to? Any other tips on the overall process would be appreciated. |

That's a lot of area for a rattle can. Kudos on getting a good finish!
If you do this a fair amount and would like to learn more about painting, check your local vocational programs.They often have night classes in body and paint... |
