I sprayed the grille on my punto black, did a rush job but it looked ok, till it started flaking, do I re sprayed it. it looks shite now though full of flakey paint thats been painted over

its now got a shit load of primer and matt black over the original silver, how do I go about getting it back to the silver to paint again propperly?

what grit should I use to

A - get through all the old matt black and primer
B- key the silver ready for the primer

i'd get some nitromors paint stripper on there, will take off everything and you can start again, make sure you use loads of laquer though so it doesnt chip easily
