my sideskirts and arches etc are blended into the bodywork with filler.
What is the best way to get rid of the filler etc so that i remove the arches and sideskirts so i can put a new bodykit on.

Also want to know the stages to prepare the bodywork for spraying.

thanks

Filler should only be used to fill gaps of 03mm, but more likely in customisation to be 03cm thick, if it was done correctly, it shouldnt break off in lumps.

Best result = DA, discs and a few hours

Once all the filler is removed, you should have bare metal, spray some redbrown primer over the bare metal, then apply any sealer to required areas, leave to dry then prime, flat then paint.
