Proper priming procedure

[dukess396]

Whoa, thanks Jeremy. Thats kind of what I needed to hear. I can deal with imperfections, but not paint peeling off. Most suggested trapped solvents causing hazing and such. Not paint flaking off. As soon as I read your post, I called the help line. Barry answered himself! He laid it all out for me, as you did. Thanks for the help guys. I'm off to go get some 80 grit.

related question....

I have some spots on my car that had some very shallow hail damage, and were filled with rattlecan primer years ago, and then rattlecan paint was put on top of that.

Before the rattle canning, it was an older BC/CC job.
My plan is to sand down the car down to the original factory primer or at least the factory base coat. in other words, take off te rattle can paint, the repaint job that was put over the original clear, the original clear, and most the original base coat.

If there are spots of filler primer here and there, is that going effect the 2K primer I put over the top of it? I was also thinking of doing a skim coat with polyflex.

this car is NOT worth the hassle of taking it down to bare metal. I'm already spending WAY too much on a car with very little collectors value

I'm glad to see you decided to do it once the right way
