Priming your Car: Part 2 (Materials)

2. Materials Used:


- Black & Decker 5" Orbital Sander ($40~50)
- 300~320 Grit Sandpaper (for the body of the car) (~$11)
- 3M Wax and Grease Remover (~$8 )
- Shamwow or similar material (must be this type of material) ($10~20)
- Rustoleum Automobile Primer 8-12 cans ($3~7/can)
- 3M Blue Tape ($~3/roll)
- 3M Respirator Mask ($30~60)
- Red shop rags
- Lots of newspaper (free, got a bunch of pepboys newsadverts)

*Note: I estimated material costs, I had no budget in mind other than to get what I needed to get the job done, you can spend more or less finding alternative tools, the Orbital sander is optional but it will make sanding it smooth a lot better. I would highly recommend a power tool sander.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A RESPIRATOR MASK
Please do not work in a closed environment without one, breathing in the fumes is unhealthy and you will possibly die/ lose a lot of brain cells. Do not overlook this.
