As Jamesvalver did. Im going to spray inside the rear of my car. Just wondering what line people spray up to as it cant be easy to blend, and what stages are involved. Theres a bit of rust on my shell. What should I use to sand it down, and what primer and how many coats should I use?

did this on my nova, im eventually going to spray the whole floor anyway so as far as taking it to a line i cant help you there, just find a nice straight edge to stop against.
Sand down, pretty well, especially rusty bits, primer - i used a zinc coated grey primer - but about 3 coats on and sanded in between. then a few coats of your colour, sand with wet n dry if you want to be super smooth, then laquer if you wish! her presto!
