Then work your way up the grades (80 > 180 > 320 > quick 500) to get all the deep scratches out from the 80 and to make the alloys smooth.
Blow them off an panel wipe. mask up. blow and panel wipe again. and let spraying happan!
Hope this helps or gives you an idea anyway.
little bit longer but id miss the 80 imho just to avoid getting to 500 and realising theres huge scratches on it but hey up to you
I guess thats where the opinion of a qualified bodyshop employee and a amateur refurber differ then.....
if you get to 500 and see huge scratches you obviously rushed the process and are an idiot for doing so.
