Just to clarify, I DO recommend sealing, but as the final layer just prior to shooting paint.
If you shoot the primer sealer wet on wet (check the primer to ensure that it can be sprayed wet on wet), which is shooting the primer sealer on the car with your primer gun then waiting the flash time (check the primer tech) then spraying your color right over the primer however your going to spray. I Suggest testing this on the engine lid first to ensure you dont have any chemical reaction between the primer and paint, unless you get it all from one paint store and the guy behind the counter says its ok. ALso be sure to reduce the primer sealer ~ 10-15% If you do the above then you can sand down to say 220 grit (Thats what I did on my car). If not, 300-400 would be fine. This is assuming a solid colors. Metalics or pearls or anything like that would be 600 grit. |
