    Hi, the laquer on my Pug 106 is very badly blistered. I have keyed the paint with an abrasive pad and scratched off some of the blisters, but I'm not sure where to go from here. Should I use fine wet/dry sanding to take the laquer of completely? I have the paint bought for the job, there's no way can I go near a paint shop at the moment, so it's DIY for me on this one. Please help.

    All you can do is wet sand the affected areas so they're feathered out nicely. Then prime the entire panel, wet sand the primer, paint and lacquer. Always use a block when sanding wet or dry, it's the only way to ensure a flat surface. Doing it by hand might look and feel smooth, but when you put paint and lacquer on it'll look like the mountains of mourne.

    Cool! I had a vague idea what to do. This doesn't have to be no Sistine Chapel. Thanks.
