I do have one question, you mentioned using slick sand above; Have you used Z-chrome high build rust defender? How does it compare to slick sand? they are both polyester based. I have noticed it takes a bunch of it to build but it sands out smooth. I think it may be better than the old urethane primer I used to use. |
Haven't tried Z-chrome, so I'm not able to compare the two. Slick Sand definitely builds thicker than urethane high-build primers and it won't shrink as it cures. It does take more primer since it goes on thicker.

Yeah, it's Slick Sand primer, not bare steel. You can block bare steel to show the high/low spots though, it's really helpful to find everything before you start the bodywork process!
