i am working on my 1979 piece of crap trans am. it is coming along fine thanks to all of the advice from you folks. i appreciate you helping me out. I started by cutting out all of the rusted metal and then replacing it with steel welded in. i then coated everything with spi epoxy and then did the major fill work. i have then sprayed spi 2k regular build over that and have blocked it down and filled in the low spots with icing and sanded them flat.
The question is do i have to worry about shrinkage with the spi 2k regular build. i dont want to bust but and then come back in 6 months and have scratches and stuff show up. what is the key to not have shrinkage? is there a certain amount of time you have to wait before top coating or something. i have it blocked to 150 grit right now using the 2k.
would switching to a product like a polyprimer for the remainder of the blocking process help or cure any possible shrikage? Featherfill would that be the product to use
The second question is about guide coat. I have 2 colors of 2k primer. how much can I thin the 2k color that I am using for my guidecoat as i want it to go on real thin
