I am guessing you mean before you colour code them. You shouldn't use anything courser than 320 on plastics or they will burr. personally i would rub them down with 320 and then 600 then primer fill then 600 wet and dry again.

Primer filler is a thick sort of primer that fills as well as primes.

I never go to halford's its stupid prices go to your local body shop suppliers mate.
papers should be about 20p per sheet. Tins are 5 quid each ish +vat but there big 600ml tins.

Use primer filler instead of primer it gives a good base to flat down to a smooth surface with the 600 wet and dry.

Bedford - I used to work in a wood spray shop and you could get 10%, 20%, 30%.... lacquer.
If i were to get my bump strips done professionally (I've not got round to doing it since my last thread lol) can i choose how much shine i want? IMHO, Halfords lacquer is very glossy, too glossy for my liking and would look naff.
