Thread: Filling Grinder Scratches

Tweet

when i did my 66 i had used a little 60 grit fex grinder wheel to take the paint off the lower 1/2 of the car . far too agressive but i couldnt get the paint off i used a 6 in oscilating wheel for the flat uppers and upper sides. the lowers came off fast ,the uppers took days of work i looked like a smurf at the end of the day(blue 35 year old paint)
for your question 1 coat of high build pimer on the top was good but the lowers took 2 coats anf then sanded and 1 coat more. metal had lots of bite shouldnt come off.
for a example i am planning on 2 coats of high build on my t bucket over the sealer on it now and then wet sand before paint. the body is already pretty smooth but it will give it a better final finish .
i am in no way a bodyman or painter just telling what has worked and what i am doing.
