Use the primer sealer at full strength (if your primer gun can handle full strength, if its a 1.4mm tip gun, most likely not, 1.8mm+ tip will be able to handle it) to to bodywork Sand it down, if perfect give it a full coat to seal the bodywork. Wait 3 days (or read label), sand down to 300~ grit. IF your primer is color matched to your paint, then you ready to spray paint right over this dry primer! However If your primer you have been using is not color matched, get it color matched @ paint shop. A light grey would be perfect. Then when your ready to spray, spray 1 or 2 coats of this color matched primer(If it hides the previous color in one coat 100% then one coat is fine), then wait 20-30 minutes and spray your paint. If you need to color match the primer, (When I say color match I mean on a grey scale) then you should take your paint and your leftover primer down to the paint shop and tell them you want them make a quart of this primer that you plan on spraying wet on wet with this paint. They will get a quart can, fill it ~ 1/2 way and fill the rest with white or whatever they feel will be close. Ask them how much it will be before they do it, I wouldnt think it would be more than 20 bucks. Color matching isnt rocket science, Its just the closer it is the faster you will get full coverage of your paint. |
