Is this good enough for herculiner ???????

Worked on it for about 2 hours does it look ready for herculiner yet :dunno:

Does Herc stick to bare metal? If not, you might want to shoot it with a self etching primer first.

How much should I sand it then ?

:dunno: what do the instructions say?

Sand it so its not shiny anymore, anywhere. A 320 grit sanding on paint will suffice... just get all the gloss sanded, and it shoulod be good. I think even a good sanding with a red 3M scotchbrite scuff pad would be good. You may want to do some rearch about herculiner over bare metal.

:agree: Herculiner claims to stick to bare metal, but I would probably play it safe and use the self etching primer. I've found that Herculiner really prefers something with some "tooth" to adhere to. Bare metal doesn't really offer that. I've also found that the red scotch brite pad supplied with the kit doesn't really etch the paint and metal as much as necessary for good adhesion.

i Found that out once i started so i started using 80 grit sand paper and this is the finished product for tonight.
