Prepping fenders for DIY paint chip repair.
Search is down so I am resorting to the forums. I'm looking to 'touch' up my fenders that are chipped up from them being rolled. It's not bad but it's enough to make me want to fix them.
What supplies would I need to prep the area to be touched up? Sandpaper? Primer? Etc...?
Any info would be great. Thanks.

Is the base coat chipped off or flaking off? and pics?
If i am thinking what the dammage is in my head
You need say 220 paper 400 and 600 wet paper.
The area where the paint is missing will need to be taken down to 220, the rest of the fenders will need to be first 400 wet and since i like my body work smooth 600 wet or some even go to 800 wet. Then have the blend in the base over the affected area, and then clear the whole fender and your done
