Spray painting question please.

[vn calais skyblue]

after yourve put your color down (base coat) usally rub with 1500-200grit, you want to avoid any scratch marks in the base coat color, now the only reason to do this is to di nib any bits of dirt hair ect, make sure on the last coat of base, give it a light 'evener' coat to get the tone and mettalics sitting nice, no point doing a job and rushing, and then clear, if u want a flat finish well wait a couple of days rub it with 1200 until ur happy then cut and polish the **** outa it lol, anymore questions just pm me ima spray painter by trade

Spray ur base coat so as the area u are painting is covered (3-4) coats depending on colour wait 10 min then apply ur clear coat 2-3 coats let it cure for a couple of day's then rub out any bits of dirt or grit with 1500 wet and dry or 2000 grit using the hose to keep water flowing over the area to eliminate any dirt getting between the paper and ur job and scratching it then buff it up. i recomend freckler G3 cutter
