berger sanding question
berger sanding question okay all, i just picked up a used panel a couple weeks ago and got to sanding...
it was painted black (on TOP of the original color, looks like mystic teal) and i sanded it to where some of the teal was coming through, and some is still black.
i know theres going to be color variation before paint, but im just wondering how far or how much sanding should be done for the new primer/paint to adhere.
thanks!

depends on how much time you want to put into it. I sanded mine down all the way to the smc, then primed and painted it. You don't have to go below the mystic teal. Just make sure the paint is dulled from sanding and the panel is smooth and even. Prime, wet sand, then paint.

just sand it untill its not shiney anymore no need in sading it all the way down to the SMC.. there should be no need in priming unless you have repaired anything on it. (chips, scatches, etc...)

you can wet sand it the way it is, but no need in primeing unless you have repaired it, just a extra step that is really not needed imo. just be sure you dry it good after wet sanding before you paint, water and fresh paint not a good combo....

Rough it up with some 200, prime, sand with a around 600, paint, sand with 1000, paint, sand with 1200, paint, sand with higher (less grit) sand paper.
Edit: not the first stage of sanding, but every stage after you need to wet sand it with something behine it. It rolled the sand paper around a scotch brite spoung. Just make sure the spoung doesnt touch the paint.
