guide coat

I read someone was asking about blocking.Someone else said prime than get black paint and spray a mist on the primer for your guide coat.Well here is some stuff i found some stuff that is way better than the paint it is black power.This stuff works great.and alot cheaper than paint and u dont have to wait for it to dry.sorry about the crappy pic.

sorry idid not notice that it was on the spanish side.I'll take another pic tommrow.But its just a dry guide coat.What i use it for is 1 over my bondo work after i have 180 it than i take a (stright) paint stick with 180 and block it out.Than after u prime your bondo work put it on that and wet sand it with 320 or 400.Were erer u have low spots or scratch it will stay black.O that red handle thing has a sponge on the end of it u just tap it on the car.Here it is on my car sorry for the bad pics useing a camara phone.

hey jeff it is called powder guidecoat. and jay im sure the guy was talkin bout using your left over primer and putting black paint in it.,,, for your guidecoat.
so thus u save money by using your left-over primer other than dumping it.
