I want to start doing some of the prepwork on some bits myself, to save on costs really.

Im fitting a gsi kit to the car, but want to do as much as i can myself before spraying.

What process (eg what grade paper) do i need to sand down my gsi skirts and arches?

Also, i want to modify by gsi bumper to fit a kamei grill. What process of fiberglass/filler of the bumper do i use. And what fibreglass/filler would i need?

I want to make a good job, and would rather do it myself. It can be that hard can it?

Can anyone help?
