priming and blockin


Hopefully all the major body work is done now and the House of Kolor kd 2000 epoxy primer is applied and has cured for a few days.Now its time to set out to blocking it all flat ,which is soooo 's much fun!It"s labor intensive and dirty,but it is absolutely positively a basic must do.I like to use SEM spray guide coat or 3M dry guide to give a contrast while sanding the gray epoxy.This insures that all the lil dips and humps git smoothed out.We're gonna use 150 or 180 grit paper for our first block out, keep in mind we may have to do this more than once depending on how good the bodywork is ,or at my age how good my eyesight is!Three coats of the Kd 2000 were applied with two extra coats on the mud work, so we can get at it hard .If bare metal is exposed STOP! and add more primer so ya don't go too far and waste all your good work so far. PS. use the largest size block the panel will allow,and when your satisfied ya done the best job possible.... do it again !then squirt a few more coats on and get ready for the wet sanding action.
