BTW…since we live in wisconsin the rust will only get worse unless you fix it or sell it…i say if the underchassis of the car is rusted you should junk it…my paint job on my car is overall in good shape, but there is some rust/chips…& also the most rusted part on my car are the rotors & were the OEM headers…both are being replaced w/ cross, slotted, & drilled rotors & aftermarker headers…i like ur valve cover BTW…
i didnt add that on… it came with the motor?
heh…it’s a vtec valve cover w/ the vtec spark plug cover…& you have a GS? 
it does have a knock sensor, and the model is RS.
nice…contact me on AIM sometime…traptxxxslacker maybe we can chill someday
do you have to sand it with wetsand or can i just spray paint it with out sanding it?
sanding & wetsanding are two different things…wet sanding is w/ water…but yes u do have to sand it, but not wet sand it, wet sanding it just makes for a better finish…same w/ sanding but if u don’t regular sand it the paint will not stick to the surface & it will flake off
so which one wet or regular sand …? i dont want it to flake off…
for the best result, sand then wet sand
what grit would you recomend ?
LOL…no offense, but if u need to know this much information about sanding, then that means you havn;t done your homework…i would suggest you read a book on painting cars…“How To Paint Your Car on a Budget” by: Pat Ganahl is a good book…he isn;t sponsored by any companies trying to get you to use their products…but anyways
go from coarse to fine: dry sand 120, 240, then wet sand 400, 800. Use laquer thinner between each sanding step to make sure no chemicals or oil have gotten into the primer. Dish soap works o.k. if u don;t know what laquer thinner is or don’t want to use it.
If you are sanding a part of your car that you know has dents/dings like a door, even if you don’t think it has dings/dents u may want to consider color sanding…i ending up doing this on my trunk when i took my OEM spoiler off & notices i had “fish-eyes” 2 spots on the car & hadn’t sand all the fiberglass/bondo off the holes…
Do yourself a favor and do NOT use Aircraft stripper. Instead use the existing layer of paint and prepare that properly, especially if you are a novice, you will get far superior results.
I read the post where you are paying someone else to do it, so this is more for those reading than you.
Best of luck.
aircraft stripper is a lot! different than laquer thinner…& if he was to use aircraft stripper why even use that, just get it media/sand/soda blasted
