    Our loacal body shop doesn't sand them down just two coats of high build primer all that is needed and then flat primer down then hit with three coats of black to give it some depth then two coat of a glaze lacquer (basically one coat of that is equivilant to three to four coats of normal) then flat and polish and there done nowt to it
