No no no! Slick Sand is a filler primer. Mud/metal always looks great in primer after 80 block in epoxy. Scuff the epoxy well and completely, edge to edge, with 150. Then lay 2 coats slick sand on. Then block that with 150. You'll be shocked at what the guide coat shows you. Use a long dura block with a nice straight 2x4 taped to the back of it on the doors and bedsides, face of tailgate and hood. Repair as necessary. Recoat with SS and reguide. Block again With 240. If no breakout, wet sand with 400, always on a block. If lots a breakthrus, tap tap and shoot SS AGAIN. Then wet with 400 and shoot 2 coats bc 3 coats clear. Enjoy the adulation of all the ladies in the tri county area. If orange is a problem, a little more reducer and a little more air and a bit further away.
