How would I go about doing this on a Sc300 fuel door 1995? I am kind of a rookie at this and I tried what someone told me and it turned out terri-bad. The fuel door has a lot of indention's in it. When I was first sanding the feeling was smooth so I proceeded to primer it. Although when it was outside it started to bubble so I sanded the bubbles down, I primed it again and then painted it. By the time it became dry it had bubbles once again and it looked really ruff. I can try to post a picture of what it looks like if needed. I think I used 200-500 grit sand paper.

So any suggestions of what grit to use? How to properly sand it? How to properly primer and paint it?

Based on my experience with Poor Mans Paint Job...

I would take off the fuel door, strip off all the paint with a paint stripper you find at Home Depot. Then I would lie it as flat as I could and lightly sand(I used 600 gritt)/prime (automotive primer sold in rattlecans) it for the real paint. After I would apply a couple coats of paint then apply couple coats of clear coat (letting it dry between each coat of course). After that is dry, I would remove orange peel by sanding with 1500>2000>3000 gritt sand paper then buff it to a glossy finish free of any defects

Thats how I did the hood of my dad's old van anyway. Turned out great if you saw that post here . If you are looking for a professional painter type situation I can't really help you lol
