Scuff with 320 or 400 hand sand if there isnt bad damage then prime and wet sand that with 600 grit.

Thanks no bad damage just scraped up should I just scuff it than primer over the old paint?

[kevin2502000]

Depends on how bad the scrape is, if you can feel it sand it out, make sure you feather it out so it's even.

btw RF9romer, I wasn't trying to be a douche, so please don't take it that way.

...the link I posted by SweetLou is probably the best painting how-to on KR. But there are a good deal more sources as well, if you do a search or just go to the bodywork section of the forum.
