Ok, read perfect paint job, tech manual, forums and this is by far the best body/paint forum with super knowledgeable folks willing to help. Thanks!
I need some confirmation on plan to paint 68 and 72 Corvettes while waiting on 24hr >65F weather, please. First auto paint job for me.
I did all the body work on these 2 Corvettes with VPA as filler, SPI epoxy first coat, SPI 2K multible times, 150g-220-320-400-600grit sanding and still going through to the first white epoxy in spots ( getting white dots). Usually put 2 coats of std build 2K at a time.
So, I am thinking 2 coats of std 2K is not much so sand thru's to the epoxy should be expected. Good news is I am getting "fewer" white spots (sandthru's) every cycle, but I am thinking this is sorta like that guy that kept pushing the rock up the hill and then it rolls back down, hmmm.... maybe time to ask questions and review?
If I understand correctly, I need a nice even 600 sanded coat of 2K (both Corvette to be a metallic OEM color Diamont: BC/SPI euro) before putting on a thin coat of SPI epoxy as a sealer, then base then clear. This means "NO white spots" sand thru's, right?? before next step.
So question please, I need more coats of 2K and sanding cycles right? and keep going, right? and maybe start with high build 2K for the next paint project AND I need a nice complete even coat of 2K before next steps SPI epoxy sealer/bc/euro clear???
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Much Thanks.
