Default Do I?

I'm painting my fuel rail covers and I'm curious(cause this is my first time painting) do I need to clean the primer after I wet sand and before the paint? If so what do I use?

A quick rub down with a tac cloth dipped in mineral spirits and you're good to go. This will get the dust off before the paint coats are applied.

Please post pics after you're done. I'm a painting idiot but am thinking about doing the same thing... I'd like to see how they turn out.

I will be happy to post pics when everything is done. The millenium yellow paint and clear won't be here until wednesday so it will probably be thursday or friday before I have anything for you. I'm hoping they turn out really well with all the time and effort I have put in.
