Hi everyone,
I have gotten my car up to the 2K stage on most of the panels. I have followed the “perfect paint job” steps, with the exception of adding a poly primer step. My car has one round (two coats) of regular build spi 2k and has been sitting unsanded for about a month. I will need at least one more recoat/blocking step before sealer/base/clear. This leads me to a few questions
1- is there any additional steps needed when leaving 2k sit unsanded for extended periods of time between recoats? Sanding grits etc.
2- Can I switch to epoxy for my final sanding stage if the car will sit a while before sealer? Is this possible?
3- if it’s ok to spray a few coats of unreduced epoxy over sanded 2k for final blocking, is there any special steps when doing this?
This forum has been great guiding me along my journey, thanks in advance for sharing your suggestions.
