    Just wondering if anyone has ever sanded down their entire car for a repaint, if so how long did it take with what tools?

    The annual autobody issue of hotrod mag comes out this month.

    Besides that, go to page 2 of this link for paint prep tips Hot Rod Paint, Drawings & Body Work - Hot Rod Magazine

    a few days of hard work you can have the body sanded down, then comes door sills and window edges. so expect at least a week to get main body done then a week to get the other little things fixed. all in all i worked on it a few hours a day and took me a month roughly, but thats with days not working and then a few days while i had to wait for paint

    Some reading can go a long way, yet you choose to never to do that.
