Now the fun job of blocking out the primer. The car is going to be black, so it has to perfect, even though I’m going to age the finish a bit. I want it to look like a nice car that’s getting old. Which it is.
I use a long block with 120 grit, self adhesive paper. This gets the ripples out, shows low spots and knocks down the high spots. I didn’t shoot a guide coat on this first coat, I’m taking enough off that there wasn’t a need. I found a couple areas that need a little icing, but it was pretty good. After the next coat of high build (I’m using Nason 2K urethane), I’ll dust a coat of red oxide and then use 220 followed by 360, wet.
It won’t be long before I get color on now, provided I get a break in the weather and walnuts don’t keep bouncing through the shop doors!
