   Not sure where to post this but never mind
   
   I've recently picked up a spoiler for my friend car and it needs painting the right colour
   
   Can any body tell me the right sandpaper grades to use? Don't want to leave any scratch marks
   
   Cheers

   Don't use sand paper if it only needs a colour change use a grey scotch.

   So if I use that then primer, paint and laquer it? That's the best option?

   Okay thanks for your help mate is there much difference between sandpaper and a scotch?
   
   Also I was told when laquering to do a light coat first wait 10 mins and then do a thicker coat would that be right?

   Yes scotch and sand paper are miles away from each other. I don't know about clear coat from a tin because I paint it a whole different way from every one on here.

    I agree with bedford, no need for primer.

    Bit of an update guys and could use some more advice
    
    I left the spoiler at my friends last night he decided to sand it with some 2000 grit wet n dry just as I went out to get a scotch to do it as Bedford said but he's now rubbed it all with said sandpaper what's best to do now still just paint and laquer? Or annother route entirely?

    No just make the surface dull so the new paint sticks to it. You want no shine at all after you finished rubbing down.
