So i am sanding my spoiler i bought for my celica, it was painted a darker blue than my car so i am going to sand it all and paint it to match my car. SO....

How far down do i need to take it when i am sanding it? All the way down or just enough to wear it is almost to the primer?

thanks for the help

get 800 and go for it...the better the sand, the better the product. use the 400 and 800 to take out the imperfections
