Re: Over 25 Years Later, Finally My 71 C-10 Truck Build
When I have body work areas, I spray with 3 medium wet coats of primer. Then guide coat (lightly mist with rattle can) with a dark color, then block with 150. If there are any problems you will see it while you are blocking the guide coat. After your issues are fixed, or if it blocks out OK, then recoat with 2 more coats of Primer. Guide coat it, Then block with 320. You should be ready for Paint. So now you will apply 2 coats of sealer, then your paint. Bare metal parts should be epoxy primed before you prime or do body work. Usually after they are sandblasted, then epoxy prime them. Epoxy primer is a good corrosion/adhesion promoter, but a very bad filler. If you have to sand Epoxy Primer use some wax and grease remover and wet sand it with 400 and it will not gum up the sand paper. Your build looks great. Good luck Scott
