Polyester Primers

So do you only use it for the first round of blocking ? After you 2K what do you block that with and how many times will you re-prime and block.

When I did my Dart I only used 2K, I used 180 till i was pretty much dead straight, Re-primed and went 320, Then re-primed and went 400 wet, and 600 wet.

It depends really how much the customer is paying me, the more he wants to pay, the straighter his car gets. It could be one round of polyester and one round of 2k. It could be two rounds of poly and two rounds of 2k.

I don't like to post to much on these kind of threads, because everybody's way of doing things can be way different, not saying there way is the wrong way, I just know what works for me. I've been doing this for almost 25 years. I have had conversations with some of the top people (Chip Foose, etc..) in the business, and have got tips from them, and some tips I don't want to share! LOL!

But at least it's once with polyester, block with 150 or 180. Then it's a round of 2k primer such as K38 or K36 and blocked with 320. Then one more round of 2k primer, and then it gets wet sanded with 400
to 600 depending on color, 800 if it's black.

You do a very nice job on cars from what I have seen AdamR!
