Hello,
I've been blocking my car for what seems like forever, and think I may be done (I hope!).
Did metal work, epoxy over bare metal, filler work, epoxy, block sanding with 180 until I hit filler or metal, then epoxy, then 2K.
Blocked 2K with 180 with guide coat until straight, then 320 with guide coat, then 400 with guide coat.
While blocking with 400 and guide coat, all panels have areas where I cut through the 2K to epoxy, but not to filler. Several panels have a few very small areas where 400 cut through to bare metal just as all guide coat was gone.
I have sprayed w&g remover on panels and they look straight in the light.
Will be using single stage paint in solid red. Since it is still winter here, I wont be painting until at least June.
Questions:
-if I am happy with how straight the body is, should I spray one coat of sealer then go to paint, or should I spray a coat of unreduced epoxy over the entire body to get it in one uniform shade and block again?
-if I can go straight to sealer, is it OK to leave cover on car, then uncover in a few months and clean the dust off the 400 grit surface with W&G remover, then seal and paint? Or would I have to scuff all surfaces again due to sitting?
Thanks
Michael
