Default wash down

dave

a little tip wash down the body with water or solvent this cleans away any release wax of the body ,before you start to sand and prep,because you can get wax in ur sanding bloc, and then it spreads over ur body,sanding will help key the body for the primmer "high build" 1 gallon of primmer is ideal, light grey, or a yellow if ur going for red finish,then b4 ur flatten the primmer back for top coat just get a can of black and spray light over ur primmer , thus helps you know how much primmer ur taken off when flatting it back b4 top coat,a 120 grit is good any finner u get paint runs and sags. top coat is up to u any thing 2 gallons up to 4, but u have to keep flatting back inbetween coats, but then we all have our ideas this is just mine...
