Ok, I have been restoring cars for a little over 16 years now. Was a hardcore PPG person until I started having problems with their dplf.
Now, I have never sprayed sealer.....ever. I have always ended my priming with either k36 or k38 2k primers, then final sanded with the usual 500-600 and shot my color.
So I guess my questions would be, should I start epoxy sealing before color? Or can I spray 1 or 2 coats of non-reduced epoxy and wet sand that before I lay my color down?
I've always assumed the final paint finish over sanded primer compared to over a sealer was better because of texture/orange peel and trash/dust that you could possibly get with the sealer. I don't know, maybe I'm over thinking this.....
