First off i know , i know this should be in cosmetics, i already put it in there, reason im asking you guys is cuz lots of you have urethan kits and maybe you saw how they painted your cars and i know a lot of you guys know alolt about bodywork. sheesh

Ok, what is the correct way to shoot the base coat on urethane? i know urethane tends to flex and move and its kinda greasy a little. ive heard its a pain in the a** to paint. so i was wondering what is the best way to tackle the base coat? i dont want my paint to flake off.

 

use the SEM flexible flexible primer surfacer.....i used this on my kit and works very good..and is already premixed and ready to spray....

 

yes, you will need some sort of flex agent.

 

Actually i was probably gonna be using spray paint, but let me also ask you guys this, a friend of mines gave me this tip and i just wanted to see if it would work.


first sand with a rough grit
shoot base
wet sand with rough grit
shoot base
west sand with lighter grit
shoot base

then continue as many times as possible to get nice thick coat? will this work? can i primer with spray paints?

 

priming with can primer is not gonna be thick enough.....but if you get ahold of a spray gun, i suggest you do it like this:

1 wetsand with 400 grit or scuff with red scotch brite pad
2 then shoot the primer
3 then wet sand again 400 or 600 grit then your ready to shoot color
