m22chevy Sep 20th, 01, 3:30 PM Iv'e heard of using spray can paint for a guide coat when blocking the primer for final finishing. What kind of paint should I be using? My final paint will be BC/CC and I wasn't sure if I should stay away from certain types of guide coat paint (i.e. enamel or lacquer). Thanks guy's!!

MARTINSR Sep 20th, 01, 5:04 PM Go to your auto paint store and you will find a number of brands of cans labeled "Guide Coat". You can't go wrong with them. ------------------ 1965 Buick Gran Sport Convertible 1965 Buick Skylark H/T "Fan of most anything that moves human beings" 70isfine Sep 20th, 01, 5:27 PM 3M makes a cool guide coat.Its like black chalk almost.You rub it on with an applicator pad and it stays on until you sand it off.works very well.Try your auto body supply store,they should have it.Or you could use good old black laquer.

Possible thru the primer. 70isfine Sep 20th, 01, 7:27 PM Real guide coat is laquer.Shouldn't penetrate a good 2k prime. | ||
