Hello all,
I've searched for this very topic and found a few. But I cant seem to find a topic that is similar to mine. Most of you guys are going from epoxy straight to either base or 2k. Since my car was "naked" I didn't want it exposed too long.
I shot my 65 Mustang on Sat that I got back from the media blaster. I DA'd the entire car with 80 and scotch brite (red) the smaller areas. I used 700 and let it flash for 30 mins. I applied my first light coat in a small area, let it flash for about 15mins and shot another coat with black epoxy and went on perfect with a few fish eyes here and there (probably not cleaned thorough)
Sunday I'm looking at the paint and see that the paint has some dirt in the epoxy. I've read that I can wet sand with 220 on another link here, but my first question in how long should I let it cure before I sand? Do I not worry about it for now and do the necessary sheet metal/body filler work then spray two more coats after body filler? I am aware of the 7 day window which I will not be within anyhow.
I plan on doing the metal work/panel replacements, body filler, block/sand, 2k, then epoxy, then base. I've read the perfect paint job steps and other topics on this forum. I know I could probably skip the 2k but what are the pros/cons?
Sorry for all the redundent questions and thanks in advance for you feedback. I'm a newbie spraying in a makeshift spray booth under my carport.
Thanks a million guys I've learned a lot on here!!
