Sup people so im bout to sanddown the bondo but i dont know sand grit i should use?
after the bondo sanded im going to put a primer, now what sand grit should i use for that? do i wet sand the primer too? thanks for all the help

 

80 dry for the filler then when you have it almost like you want it 180 then prime


we use 600 wet after priming and youll probly have to do another coat of primer

i shoot color after 400 wet usually. as well. i feel that 600 is too fine, esp for a solid color bascoat that is covering the panel well.

 

what better is it to go 400 than 600 dude i know uses 800 (its better he says less sand scratches)

just wondering cause im going to school for this

 

you can use either of the 3. its honestly personal preference. i learned from my father (30+ years of custom bodyowrk and paint) and its what has worked best for him and ahs worked best for me. can i ask what material u are spraying with? dupont basf? ppg? something else?

 

dupont chroma base and chroma clear

if your doing an all over for hella money do you spray your base ulrta fine then spray another coat of base then clear and cut and buff heard it looks too clean

 

thx for all the help guys

 

thx for all the help guys i will post some pics of my progress

hope u sanded using a block and not jsut your hands....

 

when u putty starts to have all those spots it means it usally low in there so just give it one smooth fil with ez sand and block it off with 180

also on ur quarter panel i can see that its all a huge low spot. u bassicly sanded it all off. it should be one fill ontop of that to really level it out. and get a long board to carve it down.

 

all so good idea if you use some guide cote
