i need to finish prepping a hood, the bottom side of it is black. would i be able to use a pressure washer to get the paint off, then scuff it up and primer it, or should i just scuff it up with the black paint still on it? what should i use to scuff it up?

Re: paint prep
if you can get your hands on a random orbit sander, that would work perfectly, is there still clear coat on the hood, b/c you'll want to make sure to get every bit of that off, b/c it will definitely peel even if it's scuffed. There are also paint strippers out there that will allow you to basically wipe the paint off with a rag. I don't reccomend using a power washer, any debris caught under the spray can gouge fiberglass. 220 grit sandpaper is the best to get clear off, then scuff with 400 then prime, and don't forget to sand the primer.Rebuilding the engine...
