Default prepping for spray - any final advice?

ok so my car is booked in for next saturday to get sprayed, im 99% sure all is well we did the guide coat and blocked the car back, a few minor touch ups to fix and thats it. a few edges got bare metaled and a few scratches and low spots have been revealed

What I was wondering is if anyone else has done this, thought everything was perfect and later discovered it wasn't, i'm after advice now before it's too late.

any imperfections will be visible once sprayed. make sure it's perfectly rubbed down with 1200 or so grade paper.

i've sprayed stuff but could never get it right. preparation is everything. it's an art.

look especially around where you know the imperfections exist.

Always happens, I can spend hours on a part only to paint it and see one tiny crack or dint that I missed. Being me I always fix it/remove it and spray it again. It just makes for a better job.

It’s good that you primed, guide coated and blocked the car so the paint should come out sweet due to you doing it that way. Its only until you've got clear on the car that you'll pick up little things.

It is getting painted a dark or light colour?

What was wrong, found unexpected damage on the last two panels we blocked back,

Luckily I work with 3 panel beaters two of which also are qualified sprayers, we have finally worked it out, good group at my work.

i'f it's not ready I will cancel, but I will still feel obligated to deliver a slab of beer to the sprayer, hes been pretty helpfull.

Sounds like it will look a million bucks when it's rolled out the door ready to hit the streets, can't wait to see a pic mate!
