elkenova Feb 24th, 08, 5:58 PM Hello all, I hope you can tolerate another primer-sanding question. I have 2k primer that was guide coated and blocked with 220, then guide coated and reblocked with 400. I would like to sand again with 600. Is guide coating recommended for this final sanding stage? Thanks, Jerry BERGERZ28 Feb 24th, 08, 6:26 PM Every time you sand to another grit you should always guide coat, we guide coat the palstic, the spray poly and all the 2K priming. Good luck.

I find that after you are in 320 git and finer you can wipe the car down with a wax and grease remover. this will make the panel shine. Then take a pen and mark the side of the car where ever you see darts or wavs block more in these ares, these minor fluctuations will never be detected with a guidecoat. This is in 400 grit wet down with wax an grease remover. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f247/motoair125/Picture164.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f247/motoair125/Picture163.jpg sdun Feb 24th, 08, 9:34 PM Through years(23) of trial and error I use a system that works the best for me. I guide coat after priming and block with 180 dry on a long board. After this is where the differences happen, I guide coat and knock down the 180 scratches with 500 for solid colors or 600 for everything else using a small hand block. I found that when I would block w/ 220 or 320 between I would get small waves in the finished product. The less you sand after the 180(after taking out the 180 scratch) the flatter it will be. 1968Chevelle300Deluxe Mar 3rd, 08, 9:12 PM Its personal preferance... I dont guide coat anything...
