Oh, boy do I ever know about what it looks like under the paint. I just finished three weeks of work to repaint mine. Actually I still have some work to do but at least I finished shooting paint today. If you start sanding your car, you have to decide what you plan to do. If you just need to scuff the original paint for a repaint, I'd just wet sand it with 400. If you need to do any body work, you'll have to go further. I dry sanded mine down to color or primer with 80 grit, primed, wet sanded with 320, reprimed, wet sanded with 400. Blah, blah, blah. Anyway, when you sand, you first are sanding clear. When you hit the color, it is a VERY thin coat. Under that is gray primer that's not too thick either. Then metal. My plastic was primed with gray also.
