HELP with bodywork
The few times I tried to use fizz can primer it shrunk, badly.
Now that I am in school for paint/body I have seen that type of system being used and how bad the results are. Wet sanding doesn't fill the scratches it will bring down the high part of the scratch to the level of the low part of the scratch. Wet sanding smooths the panel and the water makes it so the paper doesn't clog. Dry sanding does the same thing it just doesn't have the water to keep the paper from getting clogged. I prefer wet sanding and have found that as long as the panel is wiped dry you don't have the globs. Also k38 and k36 adsorb water if allowed to sit for extended periods of time. I would wait until you have the money to do it right, in the long run you will be much happier you did. Here are a few pics of the '72 scamp I am about to spray. I did the body work, primed, blocked 180 longboard, primed, blocked 180 long, primed, blocked 180 long, primed and wet with 600. It is a lot of work to do it right but it is less work and less money to do it once. Every thing has been wet sanded except the hood, at that point I still needed to block it out once more, and prime again and wet sand it.
