First I would like to say thanks to SPI and all the people posting the great tips and advice on this forum. This has been a fantastic source of information. I have been doing off frame restorations of mainly muscle cars for a few years. I am still a novice at this by most standards. I do this generally as a hobby but have cars I sold in a few different states and one in Europe. I have been using SPI products for 3 years or so. I spoke with Andy a couple of times and his advice has been very helpful. I currently have a 69 Chevelle on the rotisserie we painted Monday of this past weekthat is now being blocked and buffed and a 70 Chevelle SS being redone starting this weekend.
Here is my question. The 70 Chevelle was painted about two years ago and cleared using SPI Universal clear. It was cut and buffed. The car suffered some minor damage while in storage so I am going to remove it from the frame and repaint the entire car. I am thinking about sanding the clear with 400 shooting a coat of 2k blocking, then sealing it and then base coat. Is sanding the clear with 400 the best start or is there a better way to go? All the other cars I have taken to bare metal and worked from there.
Thanks again
