Ok, so I've read and read and read post after post after post (I should've took some notes) 65 GTO is at the body shop, my body guy/painter is gonna put her in SPI black epoxy before I bring her home. To save some coin I will be putting her in 2k/base/clear. I've got a couple questions.....
I plan on running with the SPI regular 2k not the high build, the way I see it, after my car is in epoxy I've got up to 7 days to get the 2k on it with just a light scuffing with red scotchbrite pads, correct? Then lay down a few coats of 2k with flash time of approx 30 min between coats. ( it's bit chilly in Nebraska, but my garage will be at or above 70 degrees) then block it out and more 2k with another round of blocking.
Dumb question here but say I mix up the enough 2k the fill my 20 oz spray gun cup, how far does that get me? When that cup is out do I make a soft edge, stop, mix up more 2k and just carry on or should I mix up a couple cups worth at one time?
After the 2k, I will be moving to a paint booth other than my garage. When I get the car there should I lay a thin coat of reduced epoxy over the 2k, wait and then apply my base (with proper flash times) then begin clearing? I will have the paint booth for two days, should I just clear the next day after the base?
Thanks in advance, and thanks for you time helping a newbie out. And by the way, all products including the red base will be SPI products used.
