I am sorry for the confusing title. I am currently compiling a list of everything needed to paint my project car (first all over paint job but worked in a body shop in my younger years cutting in parts). I believe I have everything figured out with the exception of the sealer step. I plan to go bare metal>epoxy>body work>2k primer>block>seal. My primary concern is to have a uniform WHITE finish prior to base (SPI Red). The 2k primer comes grey, but I am concerned that it could be a darker shade of grey and I want to spray the red over white. From my experience with spi white epoxy in the past, it's coverage would likely yield a non-uniform color (especially in reduced format) unless you were to spray numerous coats of it. I am clearly not an experienced painter, but I would assume numerous sealer coats would just add texture you're trying to prevent. If anyone would like to weigh in on the following options, I would be grateful:
Reduced Epoxy sealer - Would a single sealer coat provide a uniform enough white surface?
Actual sealer - Although not typically recommended on here, i assume it would have more pigment than epoxy?
One of the above methods plus an initial base coat of white - This really seems like the most simple solution but i don't see it recommended frequently on these forums.
Thank you for any input you are willing to provide.
