Hello,
Newbie here trying to learn the art of body work, hope you guys can help me out with a few questions. I read the perfect paint job... But not to clear about a few things.
I will start grinding (wire brush) off the paint of my car next week. It will be done in sections, quoter panels, doors fenders ... And so on.
The panels for the most part are in good shape, aside from a few door dings and a small crease.
Here's how I think I should approached this,
1. Grind and remove paint
2. Hammer out dents as much as possible.
3. Scuff metal with 80 grit
4. Spray epoxy primer (2 coats)
5. Block the epoxy with 120-180 grit
6. Fix the low spots with as little filler possible.
7. On the places i apply filler scuff it with some 80 grit
8. Shoot 2k or 2k high build? (Not sure about this step)
9. Block the 2k 120-180 grit
10. Repeat step 8 -9 till the panel is perfectly straight.
11. Spray 1 coat of epoxy primer to seal
12. Ready for paint?
The final paint job will be out source.
This is what I have gather from things I've read. Am I on the right path.. Am I missing anything? I'm not sure about the grids to block with... And I've also read about wet sanding before paint but I'm not to sure about this step.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
