Good evening I would like some feedback on my plan of attack for my cars paint job.
The car is a major project, it has a thread on this forum. Today I got the firewall in the last round of 2k primer. (Only 2 rounds).
My process for this was. Sand blast, epoxy, filler over epoxy....re epoxy full strength..2 days later, straight to 2k high build. Today I sanded that with 180 grit, and 2 coats of 2k high build again. And that's where it's at
I was thinking in sanding the 2k in 2 days, with 400 grit then spraying it with epoxy and leaving it until the rest of the car is up to speed. (Could be 3-6 months). I want to do this process to the entire car (in pieces) then come back and wet sand the epoxy with 600 grit , seal it with more epoxy (reduced) and base coat clearcoat.
So my question is first off, does this sound like a good idea....and 2nd...after 400 grit, should I reduce the epoxy or spray it 1:1. I feel it lays out better when it's reduced 10-20%.
I want to lock it down with epoxy because of its water proof/moisture proof capabilities.
Here is a picture of the firewall. I deleted the heater core wiper motor and arms, and dash speaker. molded it and relocated the bulk head fuse block. Also I used cage nuts for the body mounts and capped and molded those.
Thank you for any advice
