hey all my bonnet needs a re-spray and im gonna do it at collage , so im gona have ago at rubbing it down and getting it in primer ready for paint, the paint atm has slight bubbles all over it you can only see them when close or rub your hand over them, im just wondering if i can just rub it down and pait it with primer or do i need to treat the bonnet. also would i have to rub the pait compleatly off to bear metal or shall i just dull it off then spray it ? cheers

could be something underneath it coming through, best and easiest way is to get some paint stripper on it, then you have a perfect base

Da's are good if you block first and know how to use it correctly so as not to get it ripply. If you go to 800's you won't get scratches
