Nice work once again! [smilie=e:
So a light fogging of the black is what one uses as a guide ?
Need to do this myself pretty soon,nice to see the process!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Beeper, I've seen guys just make X's on the panels, but not knowing the guality of my bodywork i figgered I'd fog the whole thing, just adds MORE sanding to the process i guess!

May want to check out..

3M's Dry guidecoat, it works great, and a lot easier to use as well. It's all we use. Not to expensive either. Also saw your post on blocking, I would go ahead and reprime, I don't quite know why these products are being used, so I can't comment on how they work. If I Was doing it and your panels are like they are I probably would have sprayed some polyester primer to use for blocking, builds fast. Also for your block, you may want to look into a set of flexible blocks, kind of expnesive, but worth it. Your block with the foam base is really to soft for what your doing.

Thanks GC, I have the small rubber blocks, will look into a couple of longer ones .
Reason for all the por 15 is because it was a total rustbucket, remaining metal has some thin spots,figured it couldn't hurt to coat both sides???
I'm not even sure what brand guide coat I have, will check! Thanks again, Rich.

Spray guide coat works fine, and is a must for wet sanding, which maybe is what you are doing, but for all my blocking(which I do dry) I use the dry guide coat. Go check out sanding blocks on www.autobodystore.com. That will give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
