Forgive me if I'm over looking it, but I'm not finding exactly what I'm looking for. I spoke with an individual a few weeks ago whom advised application of different primer colors to aid in the blocking process. If you know the color of the primer, you know how far you went in your blocking/sanding. Makes sense, I think. Also, I know their is something in picking primer colors in regards to basecoat colors.
So here is my deal..... my car is primered in gray epoxy. I did this several months ago, right after media blasting and have not touched it since. I have some metal work and filler work to do. I'm going to have to sand that initial coat of epoxy and apply another coat. I need to order some more epoxy and was thinking I would order black epoxy for whole exterior of car. Engine bay is black and thinking I may leave it in black epoxy. I will spray polyester in gray as well as 2K in gray and seal with SPI epoxy, in gray. My car is as in my avatar, Gulfstream Aqua basecoat. Am I making a mountain out of a molehill here in regards to the primer colors? What is the rule for the underlying basecoat primer? What would you advise?
Thanks!
