Epoxy between 90 and 97% better stone chip resistance when used as a sealer.What are the pro's and cons in deciding which sealer to use?
Flexible to 4 inches thick.
Thanks, I fixed it@texasking , do you mean more chip resistant?
As a beginner painter I had runs on my epoxy sealer step. Waited overnight, sanded the runs up to 600 and went to color with no problems.Understood......... so how does one fix spraying mistakes if using epoxy as a sealer? I would assume one would have to wait a minimum of a day, or two days for best sanding results.
I know it would be best to shoot base over epoxy no later than say 12 hours. Can base be sprayed over epoxy sealer say, one or two days later with good adhesion results?
I haven't sprayed reduced epoxy yet, so I have no idea how it sprays.
You know one of my former employers does make a drug for that.Flexible to 4 inches thick.
I probably should have wet sanded but I dry sanded. Can't see any 600 scratches thereDry sanded or wet sanded?
It's been my plan to spray epoxy sealer late Friday afternoon and base the next morning. Overnight between sealer and color worked great.
You can wet sand within an hour or two of spraying to fix blemishes, use the 710 instead of water to 'wet' to cut the wait.Understood......... so how does one fix spraying mistakes if using epoxy as a sealer?

I should have specified I mostly spray metallic, so that's why I use 600. If it's a solid then 400 is fine. I wet sand the unreduced epoxy the following day, and then paint the day after. But I'm a front yard hack.I really like this idea to insure I have a flat clean surface but, I don't know if I'd be able to epoxy seal the whole car, wait two hours, then wet sand the whole car in a day so I'm ready for base the next morning. Due to my age, I've become slow and mythological while performing work. Seems to provide a better result for me.
I'll be spraying spi Black base coat / clear coat. Do I need to use 600 grit?
