C4 Paint Prep
Hey all! Looking for some tips/tricks or anything to look out for when prepping a C4 for paint. Currently I have some sun beaten and dry paint that goes deep enough to see primer, as well as several layers of paint on my side mirrors (not sure on the rest of the car). How would you go about getting this ready for paint?

A LOT of 220 grit. I had to use 80 to bust thru the clear on mine, where there was clear. Then some 320. Then turn off the lights and hit it from the hip/side of car with a powerful light. That will reveal things overhead lighting will conceal
