          The grit question, if you were referring to which grit rating to stop at. I'd suggest close to 2K. If you wanted to get a really nice paint job. 400-600 is rough as shit.

                      I hopes! That would be nearly impossible I think.. Anyways, 400 or 600? And what temperature is the best to paint in?

                        Today sucked. Haha. Worked on the car from 3-9, and still barely sanded one side of the car not including the roof..

                        It looks terrible because the water is drying..

                        Would you guys fix these fenders or buy new ones?[ATTACH]760[/ATTACH]

                          Hey, go to Andy's auto and try a Sherman fender from there.

                          I have heard that they are good and they are a great price.

                                Google Andy's auto, go to the site.

                                Enter your make model and year, fenders, metal fenders the rest should be obvious.

                                    Eh, Not really worth the price because they never seem to fit right!

                                    And you.can't really get stock ones in fiberglass.

                                          Oh of course. I didn't know I could use a power sander... The next time I go at it will probably take half the time lol.
