Paint ? bout House of Kolor

MrMopar64 · June 12, 2004, 12:38:19 PM

Was in the paint store yesterday and they were telling me that I should sand the primer with 800 grit before putting the color down.......

now granted I haven't paint for years but 800 seems way to fine to me...... :? I was thinking more like 400 can someone let me know if they are right
I'm using House of Kolor bc26 sg112 and sg114 with a uc35 top coat

Dam, I used to use 320, but it's been a long time since I've painted.

Rob said to wet sand with 400 then wet sand with 800. You will get less scratches in the base coat and lets the color defination come thru more.

sounds like lots a work!!!!

The painter that did my 32 used 1000 for the final scuff prior to the base coat. Im from the old school too . Laquer over 240 worked good then sanded with 400 and wheeled out ??

At HOK prices I think I would dot EVERY "I" and cross EVERY "T" in their application specs.

Yeah I guess I'll get ahold of them Mon. and see if I can get a tech sheet from them......... at 800 just seems like there wouldn't be any bite
I'm like N8DC 360 and paint it then color sand and buff :? guess it's just been to long

I'm feelin' like Charlie Brown when the school bus left without him. Been too long here, too.

Try this. go to http://www.roadsters.com/ and click on the car to get into the site and on the left side of the screen there are the articles listed. In the featured articles the bottom one called Using Body Fillers is what your looking for.

Don't know why the link won't work.
