:confused:

I am a noob to moding, but I thought I'd start by painting my prosource koala case... anyway, I sanded down to bare aluminum, few coats of primer, few coats of black.. have been wet sanding, but while I was sanding I accidently scratched threw the paint and primer to the bare aluminum...!!! aauugghh!!!
What do I do?? spray some primer over the scratch, sand and repaint black over? or do I need to start all over?? I want it to look good...
Any suggestions would be helpful.
 
do some spot priming. Spray scratch, let dry, spray again, and again. Sand it finally with a hard block (no not by hand) then respray the area with black.

It's not like it's automotive paint or anything. It's just spraypaint.
 
You can spot prime but when you paint do the whole panel so it's even. Try a higher grit paper with your base color.
 
you never need to go down to bare metal on any paint job unless there is rust. with that said PLEASE dont start over, you can reprime the spot where metal is showing then just blend in more black. use more primer coats, then lay down the base, then clear coat. dont wetsand till you get to the clear coat. i always do a ton of clear then wetsand out any orangepeel and lay one more thin layer of clear down, always gets me a perfect shiny finish on ANY surface.
