I use sealers on all the old cars I do. Already learned my lesson on paint reactions. On an overall paint job I sometimes use the Speedokote 1 k sealer and it leaves a nice smooth surface for the paint to bond to. I go over the surface and tack it if I feel any dust, I hit it with one of those sanding pads lightly. Current job is a 65 Corvair that had the original single stage on it. What a work out this car is giving me!

Great upload Sir! I am just the regular diy guy trying to get away with murder, I guess, compared to a pro painter. I do it this way: ' Clean your surface with bathroom cleaner and Scotch brite. Sand with 600 grit. Clean with window cleaner. Clean with water. Dry the water off with paper. Add primer. 4 layers. Then paint. Lol. Pinstripe on the background paint. Add nitrocellulose lacquer. 3 layers. But as you may understand, I look at this to learn even more. And before even adding primer is where I am cheating. But this video helps! Thx!

Other guy said 320 and I'm glad you said 600 because I've never sprayed over 320 and I was beginning to think I had too much labor in over the years

I'm repainting fiberglass body panels for a Formula Mazda. Great video showing how to apply and sand primer.

[gadgettv]

Good video. I've just got back to spraying again and I always miss out a few crucial steps with my sand papers. Never rush and always double check your work before primer. Tommorow I will have to sand so much primer 😅😅

[willsachs]

Great video as always. The cubitron II is awesome nice to see you using it. I love the uniform scratch. If you use any on the DA I noticed the vacuum hole hook and loop is way better than the mesh. The mesh on the DA seems to get its edges deformed and the amount of actual abrasive on the disk is less due to the mesh. The vacuum performance is great with just the holed disk. I imagine doing a few panels per job they would last you a while after hand blocking it out to 180-240! Thanks for the video Chris.

Early on in the video you talk about the importance of sanding up to 320 grit. And if you don’t, the materials will shrink in the sun and anything courser than 320 grit will show through.

I had a weird situation where I put a wheel well on a rusted pick up truck about 15 years ago. Instead of my usual welding, I was experimenting with Eastwood’s blind rivet and panel adhesive. I thought it would prevent rust at the seam.

Years later, I noticed you could see almost perfectly where the wheel arch replacement panel and original body sheet metal met. In addition to that, You could see where each rivet was perfectly. What would’ve caused that? I usually wet sand up to 1000 grit before shooting Paint. It looked great for years.

Dude you’re good at teaching I now know how shit my primer job was

[joanwilliams]

Question did you have to sand the sealer before painting ? Thanks again for the education…

[chvydrptop]

You did a great job on the body work. How would you handle low or high areas on the primer for less then perfect work that would need to be refilled?

[tracycolorado]

Sandpaper looks like it does a good job and quickly

[MercyPhillip-prrw]

I'm 9moth old in spraying painting skill and lwant to become an expert in this ur videos are helping me well

[BikirAndriy]

Hey, this one is great thanks! Useful.

[marty]

I love your videos. I don’t understand the mixing part of it plz explain more

[Imwright]

Coming from woodworking it’s hard to wrap my brain around a 320 scratch for primer. I was always taught the bigger the scratch the better the grab. I see new vehicles with paint falling off in chunks and can’t help but think they need a bigger scratch. Gm vans have been falling off for years now I see white Hyundais with paint falling off.

[CamaroMan]

ALWAYS primer before applying body filler. I can’t count how many times I have found rust under body filler that was applied directly to bare metal.

[octanegarage]

Great video. Thanks again for all the tips.
