Paint disaster in Oregon
I have tried 3 different forums to find this answer. I am sure it is there some where, but I am so frustrated I can hardly see. I have had good luck talking to Barry on the phone. He is very helpful and full of information, but I have a hard time processing the information he gives me because I am hard of hearing and I am a bit nervous to be talking to the “owner” of the SPI company. That is why I am going to the written word for information now. BTW, I may post this question on one or both of the other forums.
First A little back ground...I took my 1989 Dodge D-350 pick-up to bare mettle.
Next I did all of my body work....De-Badged / welded & filled holes, nothing over 1/8-” deep. It looked good to me....A NU-BEE
I used the proper W&G remover then applied 2 coats of SPI epoxy primer with proper wait time between coats.
The next day I applied one “piss-coat” of Nasson urethane SS base in a white color.
My problem now is....
I thought I could get away without applying the all ready purchased SPI 2k regular build primer sealer and block sanding which was my plan originally.
The “paint disaster” that I speak of is that I regret not using the sanding sealer and block sanding..
The truck panels are so wavy that I can not let anyone see this project. I have all summer invested in getting it to this point and I “sold out” at the last minute.
I feel like CRAP over this and welcome any adjectives that anyone feels they need to pin on me.
My question now is How do I get the truck back to primer so that I can use use more filler and block sand like I should have done in the first place?
The obvious answer is to strip it down to mettle again and start over, but, I was hoping I could prep the “piss-coat” of white SS urethane by SCUFFING and not taking it all off.
I will however, do what I have to do to get myself out of this hole I find myself in.
I was always told that "when/if you find yourself in a hole “STOP DIGGING” so that is what I am doing.
I am ready to “pay the price” what ever that might be, lesson learned!
Again I want to say that Barry has been there for me all that way but that it was my decision to not do the “block sanding” that was so needed.
My Bad, NU-BEE, (be gentle
