did you read the directions? the second coat should be applied when paint is still tacky. now you have to wait 1-3 days to fully dry. pm orange 88 he is a body guyJake H.

+1. With one coat there is a good chance of sanding right through to whatever is underneath. Wait and do another coatOriginally posted by 68GTO View Post2nd coat give you the ability to sand/buff out future imperfections.

At our shop we usually do 2-3 good coats of primer, let it completely cure and apply a guide coat. guide coats are usually black in color, then as you block out the primer the guide coat will show you all the imperfections in the body such as low spots and deep scratches. repeat process until all low spots and imperfections are taken care of.

You can kind of use what you have on there as a Guide coat .... Block it all out with 320 & it will reveal your highs & lows........
You can pay attention to them areas with fillers & such.... then proceed to spray on another 2 or 3 coats of primer afterwards ...... Block it out once more with 400 & you should have a nice & smooth surface to work with ............351W into Fox needed:
