lol you'd use something around the 1000 range and make sure its wet...

primer should hopefully fix it, might need a few coats... just remember that any blemish in the primer will looks 10000 times worse once the paint goes on...(paint doesnt cover it up like some people may think)

listen up mate:)

if your car's in 240 theres two ways you can go about it...throw it in primer which will help in the appearance when its all finished or you can go out and throw some 320 then one 180 on an orbital sander and get all those 240 scratch marks out...only problem there is dont know how competent you are and how thick your paint is you might rub through and if its badly rubbed through might show up when you finish painting it.

mate if i was you take it some one who knows what they are doing me and my dad are doing my GT-R and the only reason im letting him touch it was because he used to run Nissan Australia's production line for body work back in the day and is a panel beater by trade! and even with him working on my car not everything is going to go to plans but if you have some questions or need some advice ask me and ill ask him and will be glad to give you a hand

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
