hondaguyyy Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I am planning on painting the hood of my car. I was told by someone that I needed to wet sand my hood before I paint it. Would something like this work? http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/p-12829-15974.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Just get 800-1000 grit sand paper and a pale of water. Keep on dipping the sand paper in the water every 30 seconds or so or as needed to keep it wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
