I have been doing some resreach using google and just when i think im ready to paint i read something different?
i just brought a new bodykit its in a gel coat i was going to do the following
1. sand the new kit with wet and dry using 400grit paper
2. apply the primer
3.sand primer using wet and dry 800 grit paper
4. spray the kit with colour wait 1 hr after the last coat of colour, than apply the clear
5. after drying for 24hrs either polish it or if its rough colour sand using 2000 grit paper than polish
i dont know if im doing it right but that what my plans were till i read the following on google
1. sand the new kit with 1000 grit wet and dry
2 spray on the primer
3. when primer is dry sand with wet and dry 200 grit paper
4. apply colour than half hour after the last colour coat apply clear coat
5. polish
can anyone give me the right method including what grade paper to use and when.im using 2 pac paint and its a metallic grey colour and the kit is fibreglass . i will be doing it in my shed at home.
i know i need to leave between 10 - 15 min flash time between coats. but how long after i finish applying the colour do i apply the clear coat?
any help would be great
