whats best thing to do to new panels, i got a new front panel, should i sand it down to bare metal and etch prime it, or just rough it up and etch prime it

cheers tom

The black paint they come with is worse than useless but shouldn't be hard to remove.
Bare metal and etch has to be favourite.
Sanding may not be needed, try a thinners soaked rag.

cheers il have a try next time in garage

well its been etched primed, do i need to normal prime over this before top coat (doin inside the panel)

cheers tom

it depends on what type of etch primer you have.
the stuff in spray cans sometimes is etch + primer. I've even had an etching filler primer.
the other issue is what colour is going on top - you should use the right colour primer depending on top coat colour (e.g. white red or grey primer).
If in any doubt, use a good primer over the etch.

black top coat il have a look if its primer cause it was a spray can
