why do you want to take it to the metal do you have alot of rust?

 

[92seville]

no i have no rust at all but im using an electrick sander and some spots are down to the metal and you can see is after i primerd the thing

Yes we need more info on your project

 

[92seville]

well it is my project im just doing the body work right now i wanna paint my self but i dont have no materials no gun no nothing so im pretty much fuckedi spent like a good 150 dollars on sand paper lol ill post pics later

sorry to tell you this , but your FUCKED
cant believe you spent 150 on sandpaper
could of got a gallon of paint stripper and 2 quarts of epoxy primer/sealer for under 120. i know paintstripper is a bitch to work with but hey ,your 16.
and you stripped that puppy down with an electric sander ,WOW.

Stripper would have been the best way to go to get the car down to metal.. You might run into problems with now that the entire body has been SANDED down to metal. For instance, SURFACE RUST. If a your car is exposed to the elements after being sanded to metal rust will for very quickly.. Granted its just surface rust and not a big deal you will have to resand the entire car again, and again, until you at the very least get some sort of sealer on the car.

As far as not having money, You might want to figure out how to come up with some very fast or your car will become your worst nightmare. You will need tools (gun, compressor, ect.) and some sort of sealer or primer to seal the metal.

I am not trying to put a damper on your enthusiasem but you might want to research a bit more before diving into such a project.

IF and only IF the only route you have is Rattle Can Primer DO IT!!! it will at least seal the metal.. You can always go over it at a later date when you can get enough money together to do a proper job.

can you pick up some epoxy primer and go to a tool rental place and rent a compressor and a spray gun ...properly sized for your primer...
