I'm unsure if I need to seal my car prior to basecoat or not? The data sheet for the 2K primer says its not required, but the perfect paint job document recommends it.
Here's the context:
Car was taken down to bare metal with some lead remaining in few factory spots. Bodywork consists of:
2 coats epoxy over bare metal, rage filler, 2 coats epoxy, 2K primer, a few small areas of UPOL Dolphin, 2K primer again in a few areas.
Currently the 2K has been wet sanded to 600 and it looks good. FYI super happy with all SPI's products and documentation!
I don't have any grey epoxy primer left over.
The basecoat is an orangey yellow over grey primer.
What should I do? Buy another quart of epoxy primer and spray a coat reduced down? Or is it not necessary in my situation?
To make matters more complicated, I'm renting a booth and don't want to pay for an extra day for the sealer to dry if possible. My preference is to shoot the primer in my garage and then lightly scuff right before going into the booth.
Thanks in advance, I'm a newbie!
