sry but that is the site i have them on

 

how did you primer it yourself? air compressor and gun, or spray bomb? what brand of primer?

It takes as many cans of guide coat as you need. Buy a few cans, and if you run out, go buy more. Guide coat paint isn't really a crucial thing, whatever is cheapest is best. The amount you need depends on how many times you have to sand it off to get it off flat.

 

the professional way, i had my cousin teach me to prime it so he could just paint it, he wants it done right and i used ppg expoxy or sumthin.

and what type of sand paper should i get whille im there i got 2 block sanders

 

Hopefully you sanded all the old clear coat off, then used a spray gun with some high build primer.

After that use as many cans of a ****ty cheap spray paint as you need.

 

i sanded off the clear and then i resanded the car and then i wiped it clean of dust and then i shot the primer

and i love super chevy mag and that car is rockin

 

Santa brought me a new compressor for christmas. So i will be doing the same soon.

I saw an episode of dream car garage the other day. They were using this stuff, that you apply with an applicator, for a guide coat. You just wipe it on, kinda like applying wax. Looked really easy to use and no overspray. Might try that if i can find it.

Good luck hope it turns out well, post pics as you go along if you can.

 

3m makes a product for doing the guide coat, you might wanna check them out.

 

usually you don't sand epoxy primer... That is if it's a sealer type of primer... You would want to sand a high build primer-surfacer...
but i'm sure you read the can of primer to see if you're supposed to sand that or not, so i'll butt out.

I'd use 180-220G aluminum oxide sandpaper for primer. Then down to 320-400G. Block sander, like, doing it by hand? You should use a long board if you can get one, pneumatic makes it super fast too...

 

thanks for helping me out guys

and i love working with my hands gets the stress out quicker
