I really have no problem sharing. Sanding is key...
start by filling all voids this finish will show even the smallest imperfection.
sand w/ 100 grit to smooth all the bondo.
sand w/ 120
sand w/ 150
sand w/ 220
sand w/ 800
primer coat "black"
sand w/ 800
1st coat "black"
sand w/ 800
2nd coat
sand w/ 800
3rd coat
sand w/ 800
final coat..
I do all my sanding w/ an orbital sander so it takes alot of the work out of this. I couldnt imagine how difficult this would be without it...
I also have a greco spray setup and spray booth so that helps...using sherwin williams paint. will prob finish w/ a clear topcoat after logos go on...
