Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

If it's been blasted, etch (really nice panels) or epoxy straight to metal after a wipedown. I mechanically strip with 80 on a da pad in a drill and a wire brush, then 80/150 on a DA to level out. Then filler after epoxying, scrub the work area with 80 for filler tooth. I knock filler down with 80 on a block. If I think it's good, I lightly scrub with 150 to knock the 80 tooth down then SS it. I lay a good spot coat over the bodywork area areas, then a medium coat over the whole thing. Then when it dries, 80 real quick over your worked areas, re-guide if good and 150 the whole panel. Then 1 medium coat with ss, and finish out on that coat. Yellow truck in my sig was done this way.

Sorry to butt in again, Kab.
