im gettin started on primering my s13. I have to do it in sections because i dont have the time to do everything at once. so far i have the hatch done and the roof sanded with bondo drying. if anybody has done this work before and has some suggestions that would be cool. I'll try to get some pix up if possible

 

come on guys.. no suggestions?

 

leave the dents in it..its mad jdm y0

 

agree.

 

Just take your time and be patient.

 

Take your time, and do lots of coats, so it hides the spray can lines better.

 

do your body nice and clean , make sure you feather out your body work nice, no less then 180...then use a good quality primer, not laqcuer based. then cover the area were the bondo is first, then your second coat go a little bigger then by your third or fourth coat you can do the whole panel.....oh my bad, make sure you blow your bondo realy good get all the pin holes to show, and if you can fix some before the primer it can save you alot of headaches.
one last thing, it doesnt matter how much primer you put, its all in how you sand and block it...that what can make your work look realy good.

 

thanx for the suggestions guys... this is helping a lot. im definately gonna take my time because my car is my baby and she gets nothign but the best lol

 

primering is one of if not the most important part in make a nice clean straight paint job.....do not sand with any air tools, use a nice flat hand block....and try to stay flat ...its hard to explain, its something you need to see a profesional do..
when evar me and my brother want a realy nice show type paint job, sometimes we will prime a car two or three times...the final time we will wet sand block the whole car...they come out so straight and clean.

 

wetsand? why do u wet sand it? just to get it that smooth?
