If you can use the primer sealer and dont break through to the previous primer you used, then yes you can paint right over that. HOWEVER if you are wet sanding, the issue is that you could wet sand right through to the regular primer you used before, which is BAD because that primer absorbs water and will do bad things after some time when you have painted over it (unknowingly). This is why I dont wetsand, I only sand dry with primer unless I have already done all the bodywork and laid a sealer down in multiple coats. On my last paintjob I didnt wetsand my car at all, Only a colorsand and a buff on the paint.
Unless you buy a gallon of primer that doubles as a sealer and sand till you find low spots then spray more primer at full strength in that area to act as filler (and one coat in the general area that you'll be sanding to build the primer back up), then its probably best to continue using your regular high build primer and drysanding only. |

Thanks. Very informative. I will keep using the same primer, drysand and paint without sealer as you suggested. . What grit do you recommend to do the final drysand? |
