What for?
A complete respray?

If you haven't sprayed anything before then i wouldn't attempt it, you need a big garage, air compressor, spray gun, ventilation suit etc.

How do you intend on using the primer without the tools and equipment mentioned?

it took me about 3 days to rub mine down and prime it. but they were whole days with very little breaks. I used a DA on most of the car so the sanding down wasnt too bad although i did go through almost an entire box of 320 pads. Then there was little bits that needed to be rubbed down by hand as the DA was to big to fit, or the vbration was craking the filler in my rear number plate recess. The rubbing down took me about a day and a half. Then everything was wiped down with celly thinners and masked up. After that the car was tack ragged which made that 2 days work so far.

The third day was spent priming the car, and fixing any little imperfections that were spotted when priming, like hair line cracks.

Once that was done i then spent a very long day flattening off the rimer with wet and dry, which is a real pain in the **** but worth it in the end.

but like said, if you havent sprayed before, yes do the rubbing down, but dont prime it! and deffo dont do it if you havent got a compressor or decent size garage!

and just to add, if you havent got a compressor.......DONT use aerosols!lol

Good Luck!
