OK guys, maybe its a noob question but i prefer asking you than going on without any knowledge of it and doing a ****ty job. My 6gc's got rust on one and only place : fuel door. Its a bad spot of rust that is going trought the fuel door so ive bought another one. I just need the know all the stuff i need to do a nice paintjob and the steps to do it. The new fuel door is yellow, do i need to sand it before or just begin with a primer etc...

THX GUYS!

you should definitely sand it! anywhere you want paint to stick, you need to sand lightly. you don't need to take the paint off, just use 1500 grit followed by 2000 grit to make a really smooth, hazy surface. then prime, sand lightly again to smooth out any imperfections, and color coat.
