Guest dew110CSW Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off! Personally I'd say that looks fine to primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS26 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off! You must have a lot of patience, Stripy... That's a quantum leap from my usual 'rubbing down' Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Depends on what primer you are going to use, and the standard of finish you want at the end. Usually I go to 800 grade wet/dry, used wet, but a couple of coats of hi-build primer, and then flatted down with 800 grade will achieve the same thing really. I see you've gone down to bare metal in some places, so etch prime (don't sand it down), then normal primer. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
