I need to paint the hood of my car. I got one from a junk yard so needless to say the color doesnt match. I have a belt and palm sander, I also have a grinder. What do you suggest I use to sand off the paint. Thanks

    The paint on the paint on the paint right over the hood and paint would use your better off just scuff the paint right over the paint on the hood and paint right over the paint would use 400 grit wouldnt use 400 grit wouldnt use red scotch brite pad but you could use red scotch brite pad.
