That and buy good materials! No nason or NAPA paint!
good plan there
please don't use a da if you havent really ever done this before.. actually stay away from air sanders (da) period until you know exactly how to use them. Use a good old fashion sanding block and a soft block for the curves. Remember your paint job will only be as good as your prep work. It's late I'm tired and can't think to well.. I'll reread this post in the morning lol.
