Anyone know about body work on a car?

[Flameset]

Well I wanna take of the paint on the two doors of my truck. Now I feel dumb for asking especially since my major is auto collision repair but does anyone know
how Id go about doing this xD.

This is what I guess ima gonna do. Im gonna sand down the paint and probably the primer too (not sure yet) Basically I am going to sand it down then re primer it. The problem is I am not sure what grit I should use as I don't want to damage the metal and I don't wanna use a grit that will take forever to finish. I am gonna paint the whole truck in the future but for now I just wanna primer the doors.

So does anyone have some tips or know a forum where I can get some help =D

Spray brake cleaner on the body, it should get the job done. You trying to repaint your car or something?

Yea but I recently had to change out one of the doors cause it got damaged pretty bad. So its a different color and I want to primer it.

No way I tried I think around 300 grit when I tried sanding down my cousins car and it took forever to get one area done so he just sent it to the shop.

I don't have enough money right now to send it to the shop and I wanna get is done asap.

Tell me what happens when you try brake cleaner

if you want a decent job done, pay a proffessional to do it.

Nah plus I could just wait till school starts to take it in the shop and do it there but I want it done asap.

They have stuff at auto stores that you spray on to your car and it takes the paint off and leaves the primer. Really cool to watch because the paint starts bubbling and flying off the car.
