good afternoon and happy new year.
I haven't painted a car black in 8 years. And it was the first car I painted. Have learned quite a bit since then.
I have an overall paint job in the next couple months. Right now the car is on a rotisserie and in spi 2k high build. Next step is guide coat and 180.
What has been done was...the car was completely gutted. We got the quarters and shell in bare metal using some blue sponge looking discs on a grinder. Then 80 grit on DA. 2 coats spi epoxy. Filler work on the quarter patches that were done. And on the shell. Then slick sand and 80 grit then 2 more coats of slick sand and 80 grit. And then spi 2k and thats where its been for a month. (Got sick)
The customer wants it black. My question is. Urethane sealer (never used) or epoxy reduce (always used)..and if so...what color? Black? And what grit should I take the primer to? 400? I usually go 600 wet , but I have also never used spi basecoat, or.black for that matter. I will be asking more questions as I go. Here are some pic of the work so far. This is going to be my 7th impala painting. I did the chassis for him and had a mobile sand blaster come out and do the floors inside and out
