Paint job prep, just need some pointers Options

[NaderG]

I want to get a new paint job because my car's paint is really bad , also it has alot of dents and stuff , i am also planing to put a 404 lip kit and get it painted with the car... now i know that if i want to save money i should sand and prime the car myself , i was just wondering what sand paper grits should i use for the best results, any body have a favourite spray primer brand ? ... also i havent shoped for dent removal yet but i just wanted to know if i should have the dents removed before or after i sand/prime the car ... also a lil brief how-to would be great , jsut to make sure i got it right !

^ ahh, i would remove the dents first, then sand the whole thing (someone else could help you with sandpaper grits), then prime the whole thing. that makes the most sence to me. btw what are you planning on using for spraying the primer (if you are in fact doing that)

That does make sense ... i dont have any tools so i am planing on buying a whole bunch of primer spray cans !! lol , they'll do the job ... also i just thought of this , is there any precautions regarding the plastic bumpers ?? it seems to me like there should be a sepcail way to treat thoose ....
