Next I shot PPG K36 high build over the seams to get them really slick. I'll be using Slick Sand for all of the major priming and blocking but I don't like using it straight over seam sealer, so I used the K36 instead since I feel it sticks better to the sealer. Improperly sealed and shaped seams are a pet peeve of mine...

Cowl seams.






Front roof seam.






Drip rail.




After sanding the cowl seam. I used a small diameter rod with a few layers of masking tape over it for cushion to block the seam out. This way the seam has an even diameter down its length. After the seam is blocked evenly, it gets re-guidecoated and taped on one side of the seam. Then the flat part of the panel against the seam is blocked down, and the edge of panel is rolled into the seam using the edge of a Durablock. The guide coat shows the seam, and how evenly you're cutting into it when you're rolling the edge so you can make sure it's even. Then the tape is flipped and the process is repeated on the other side.
