QUESTION: Do you grind down surface rust with grinding stone or sanding discs?

If it’s surface rust, you can get away with just using some 80-grit sandpaper and just sanding it down getting it to bare metal. You can then treat surface rust with a 50:50 mixture of white vinegar and water. Just mix it up 1:1, put it on a rag, and just kind of wipe it. Then once that dries, you can go ahead and scuff it with some sandpaper again, blow it off, and then I would put some epoxy primer on it. https://learnautobodyandpaint.com

After the epoxy, you can put a 2k filler primer on it, block it out and you’re ready for paint unless you want to seal it and then paint it. The first two segments are in the VIP and the rest of the segments probably got another four segments or so. Four or five segments are going to be added shortly but the first two segments are already in VIP.

QUESTION: I have wet sanded my clear again to re-spray using soapy water and now I have these white residue stains that I can’t seem to get off even after using a uPol degreaser, any tips?

So when you’re sanding a clear coat, you don’t have to use any type of soapy solution. You just use water -that’s it. If you’re getting a soapy water residue that you can’t get rid of, I would suggest sanding it again with just water to get that out. Just sand it with water, just use water then use 2000 grit or you’re going to be re-spraying it. 

I would just wash it down with 800 grit again. It seems like you’re going to be doing a clear coat flow coat. Right? So I would just wash it down. Be sure you don’t cut down through the base but if you just got a clear coat going on, you want to make sure you just wet sand that again and wash it with water. Don’t use any type of soap. and then go ahead and clearcoat it.
