Hey guys, so I primed my car about a month ago, using Dupont 2K urethane primer. I've been reading some paint threads and it seems like some use a sealer before paint, is this necessary? Do I need to sand the current primer before sealer? Also, im deciding between using a single stage acrylic or going 2-stage, for durability and cost-effectiveness, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

done this a couple of times--haven't used a sealer on primer. sand the primer with 400 wet-dry before paint. I've painted the base coat clear coat (malaga red) and it cost quite a bit more than the acyrlic. the metallic alaska blue was about a gallon at $160. the base coat clear coat was about $500+. I guess from my experience-dangerous amateur- a couple of gallons of acylic to get good coverage and lasting would do it. and the clear coat is quite potent unless you have good ventilation to clear the area quick--- |
