There are 2-4 base coat types than cannot be sanded or you will lose adhesion so avoid those base coats, (Quote from SPI "The Perfect Paint Job"). I am assuming Pro-Spray is not one of the base coats than can not be used. Spray the first coat of base with the slowest reducer you can get away with. Wait 30-45 minutes and spray a second coat of base. After two coats of base, let vehicle set overnight and do any minor wet sanding with 800-1500 grit to remove orange peel or trash. Apply next two coats allowing 45 minutes between coats.
I am assuming if a metallic base is used, sanding between the second and third coats is permissible, but no sanding after second coat. Is this correct?
I am assuming if a metallic base is used, the fourth coat would be followed by a fifth coat, lower pressure, backed off gun mist to distribute the metallic?
Please let me know if I am on the right track. My first project I am planning on no metallic, but I have not committed to the base color yet. I am hoping to go with Pro-Spray.
