I thought you wanted to open a body shop? You ask some VERY basic questions for somebody wanting to open up a shop.

dont use rattle can primer anywhere on your car, Unless you can buy it at the paint store and its specifically to be used on automobiles.

No Rustoleum bullshit spray cans :biggrin:

this is my first car i am painting correctly following all the steps the reason i asked was so i could just quickly cover up the filler (rage) so i could wash it down real quik. i blew it off with the comp but no alcohol to wipe so i washed again

and about the small shop i just wanna get a head start so when i get it in a month depending on how much clientele i get going here i would be up and good, not runnin around gettin for stuff at last minute

this is whats up as of right now i got the truck washed it, then i blocked the truck with a dura block with 180, worked the dents out as much as possible with a hammer and dolly set, then put a thin layer of rage to the areas to fill low spots, i then got the automotive primer in a can that i already had around for small stuff and used that to cover up the high spots that showed bare metal and filler, just so i could wash it and prep for primer i will sand it off before continuing
tomorrow i am gonna mask off the driveway and lay the primer (2k poly) wet sand that with 320 and lay the single stage am i doing this correctly?
fender is off just put it back on to wash and the hood is open the rock chips will be fill with the quantum putty i got

looks to me like that right fender needs some bondo towards the front of it cause all those brown spots dont look to good or at least a layer of putty if its not too banged up there.

Dont use single stage. It's harder to spray and doesn't stick for shit. If your painting it white, you can get enough base, clear and reducer to spray that truck for around $140. I've seen people fill chips with putty and I dont like it. I da them with 180 and spray 2k on it. Next time you do a vehicle that has good paint on it, just fix the spots that need it and only primer those spots. Sanding the whole truck with 180 just means you have to primer the whole truck now to fill the 180 scratches.

thank you i was thinking the same thing but i didnt know at least its all gonna get done now im gonna two tone it white and black on the bottom 1/4th of the truck any suggest should i spray the black first?

also another thing about peeling clearif the paint is still kinda good what will it look like if i sand the clear and re shoot new clear? does that come out good have people asking me to do all kinds of cheap shit i just tell them no i gotta redo whole car or at least the panels (trunk, hood) etc

 

[Duez]

Yeah shoot the black first, because you could probably mask it with paper, instead of shooting the white first and having to use plastic at $40 a box. Wait like an hour after shooting the black before you put tape on it, if it's bc/cc, I dont know about ss. If the clear is failing, anything you put on top of it is gonna fail too. I would sand it off, and you can't do that without hitting the base, so you would have to rebase.

and another question was it the H.F gun the 14.99 w=one the reason the primer came out really thick and feels like sand paper? or was that too much pressure i didnt have a regulator only from the comp to the hose but not one at the gun i know i need one at the gun but i thought it would be ok for primer>>? ? i put 4 :1 no reducer or acetone was that the reason as well? that high build really lays on thick as fuck
