First, you're welcome! Glad to help, but if I'm your guide, you're in deep trouble! Ok, you need GUIDE COAT. SEM GUIDE COAT, if not the really good 3m rub on stuff. Anything else is ****e, especially in the finer grits. Seriously. It'll gum you up terrible, and if you're using spray bomb enamel, if you leave some on under your urethane, it can make it do impressively wacky things! You can use some spare base and thinner mix in your gun in a pinch. Yes, you can use red scotchbrite to scrub in your edges, especially with solid colors. You need green (finer) scotchbrite for metallics, especially if THEY'RE fine. Confused? Good! Open a beer, Bunkie, you're on the road! With solids, if your color is all mixed together, and your prime is all the same color, you can shoot in pieces, but you have to be very sure you run the same amount of coats on all pieces or your shades will vary. It's no biggie, just keep track. With metallics, you want the cut ins done and the truck loosely assembled, because all your metallic needs to lay the same way and in the same amount over the whole truck. Keep it up, and don't never, ever ever, ever eeeeeever, use spray bomb enamel for guide coat. Have fun slickin' it up! Wait till after 400, your primer will be shiny! Tip: soak a clean blue paper towel in a brand compatible wax and grease remover after you 400, and lay a nice wet sheet across the panel with it. Look at the wet surface, it'll show if you left any big scratches. Toodles!
