Wow it's been a while.. OK last fall I did my final 400 grit wet sanding on my truck . It was ready to go That was with SPI epoxy .. Plan was to hit it with epoxy sealer and shoot color. Well Winter hit too fast and I had to stop. So I'm a little unsure of how to go. Do I sand with 400-600 and then shoot sealer or will just a scuff pad do or should I sand for full coat of epoxy?? Seems redundant to spray full epoxy then sealer epoxy as well.. All the body parts were inside, expect for the bed (it was covered) outside.. I'm shooting WHITE color if it helps.. want to make sure I get some good adhesion since this will be a daily driver in some extreme weather.. Alaska does that.... I did manage to get the cab and fenders and grill painted before the weather kicked in though.

If you have already done your final sand, what I do in that situation is use a grey scotchbrite pad and some Presta Scuff-Stuff sanding paste. Go over everything with it, rinsing it well and then washing it down. If you can't get the paste, then use a maroon pad lightly with some Dawn detergent. I say lightly cause the maroon is more aggressive than the grey.
After it's prepped (wiping down, masking etc) then simply seal it. Mixing your epoxy 1:1:25% (1 part epoxy: 1 part activator: 1/2 part reducer) would work well. Make sure you have uniform coverage.
