Thread: i hate sanding !!!!!!!!

Tweet

well my bucket body was ready for primer and i got a batch of high solids primer from a buddy at a bodyshop. imron brand he advised good stuff but mentioned it sanded hard.
well he wasnt kidding mixed the stuff up and spayed it last night.
funny stuff went on sticky as hell but i still had runs happen ont he lower parts of the panels.
started sanding tonight and went with 320 wet to start with, what i thought would be a good start, it wouldnt toutch the stuff,had good paper and everything.
finally took some dry silicone carbide paper 220 and cut the top glaze off and then is could get to it with something finer. i worked the runs with 120 first cause this stuff is like iron.
sand more and then time for the jd black.

Whats the paint number?

sorry i dont know the number. he uses the product on power units horse trailers,resto cars etc as it is tough as nails and sticks like crazy and he isnt kidding about being tough

Iwould suggest blocking it with 80 grit and working your way up to 180 grit. Then you could reprime evrything in Duponts Uro-Prime. This stuff sands easy and doesn't shrink. I would also let the Imron set a week before repriming and this will give it plenty of time to cure.

once i got the top glaze broke off i was able to get a nice job done wet blocking with some good 320 paper. slow going but seemed to do a good job.
there is not much area on my bucket for painting so i am spending it sanding.
i dont know how fussy i have to be as i am only going with flat black for paint anyways.
going to try to finish up and spray this weekend
