Hi guys got a holden commodore 1984 project going.
Its has been stripped down to a shell all panels back to bare steel epoxy primed and repairs over that.
Then two pack primed with 5310 spies hecker primer then rubbed . Now then i have spritzed the whole car (spray bog/filler) blocked the whole car
with 120 grit to get it straight. Now my problem is im trying to figure out what grit to finish off with before i give it the final prime with 5310 spies hecker primer??
was thinking of giving it a 150 grit block over 120 grit scratches to remove them as i dont want to have to block a third time before i final prime??Any thoughts?? maybe blove could help?? thanks guys..

100 grit rule…follow the 120 with 220, then reprime. Sand that primer with 320-400, then 500, 600, etc to whatever you finish with.
Was thinking of using the DA with the soft pad lightly over top to remove 120 scracthes..
I stick to hand sanding until I get up a bit finer than that. at least up to 180 to ensure it’s flat.
I know some guys don’t do that, but I hate those waves

Exactly. I am sure you have done a lot of work on it and would like it to be excellent. Go over it with 220 on a block. Don’t spend too much time worrying about it. The 220 will minimize the scratches, and your Primer should take care of the rest. I believe the 5310 is a good High build, high solids primer, so it should do a great job filling the remaining scratches. Just put an adequate amount on (with proper flash time) and let it dry over night before sanding and it should work very well for you! 😉
sure is going through a lot of trouble just to make a computer look good.:whistle: :p
😆 lild smart ass… This is what i want it to look like these cars came out factory two. Execpt mines going to be black over silver…

the car you linked to there looks REALLY clean! not my favorite style of car, but to each his own. I really don’t like much of anything from the 80’s. The music, the hair, the sweaters. I’m thankful I wasn’t around for most of them :lol1

Like the others said Macioce. guide coat and lots of blocking by hand[/quote]Although ugly and unreliable, I love 80s automobiles, especially the red interiors. I hope when I am old, I can go to “classic” car shows and see vintage 80s cars (and not just 5.0 Mustangs and Cameros). :clappy
omg, that car is fugly. look, on a serious note, this is the best way to make sure it’s straight———>>>>>:deadhorse :hunt

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl I think you guys are just used to your old camaros and mustangs you get a bit confused when you look at somthing like this 😆 😆
Someday I will own a Chrysler Le Baron.
I had an ’82 Subaru BRAT for a month or so, but the thing was so incredibly rusty I didn’t want to fall down through the floor while I was driving. That would be a great car if I could find one in good shape.
