Basically, i bought a fiat cinquecento for a laugh a few weeks ago, and to use to keep the milage and work crap out of my fiesta, and to make it even more funny, i want to paint it yellow, leaving the passengers door red (inbetweeners).

The car looks pretty straight, not that im too worried about it being perfect. Its currently red, am i right in thinking if i key it up with a bit of 400 grit, and dont get any bare metal, will i still need to use primer?

You shouldn't need primer if you don't go through to bare metal. I wouldn't think you'd need to go as coarse as 400 grit.

If your going a different colour as suggested you will want to use primer otherwise it will take alot of paint to cover, and you wont match it very easily in the future.

we done a mini by wet flatting it with 1200 then blew it over, looked respectable but not mint
