Give the paint a good scotching to give it a key, make sure it's all clean and wiped down after and there are no bare metal areas, if there are, use an acid etch primer on them straight away, then rubb that down smooth.
Make sure the body shop has no objection to you doing this basic prep work, some get funny and will still charge you the full amount as they will claim they need to go over your work.

nope sticking with ford white, might aswell keep it original colour.
Glacier white has got far to much blue in it IMO
Its got more blue in it than diamond white has yellow

Don't rub down wet, always rub down dry to avoid moisture getting caught under the paint, as said previously 3 days rubbing down and 3 hours painting will always look better than 3 hours rubbing down, 3 hours painting and then 3 days cutting back to a finish. less elbow grease aswell

yeah i intend to take day's even a couple of week's just getting everything perfect for spraying.
As you say abuser, i've been advised not to wet & dry, and to use anything above 240-400, then work through the grades, scotch brite everything, and make sure everything is keyed and clean
