KMS Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 So you buff out the wet sanding and it will look like that after? not another coat of clear? Alpine PDX-V9 Morel Tempo 6 Alpine SBR-S8-4 Alpine CDE 149BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio-Concepts Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 After about 8 Coats of clear you will have so much depth it will be perfect. You want to wet sand it completely flat, making sure all dirt is gone. When wet sanding in stages starting with coarsest first to the least coarse it will show a nice dull smooth plain. When you buff it out using compoud, machine glaze (fine), then machine glaze (ultra fine) you will bring back the shine and gloss. It will look just like Meade's towers!

AMI CUSTOMS Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Just a few pointers I noticed, for one you did a lot more work then necessary in the sanding steps of the primer IMO. And you mention fiberglassing the box, you didn't fiberglass the box you just resined it. With the correct primer you don't even have to use resin. On the resin stage I sand smooth with DA sand with 220, really fast and gets it flat. Primer stage do the exact same DA sand with 220, really fast and gets it prepped for paint perfect. And then I don't sand again until after clear, wet block with 2500. Then cut, buff, glaze, wax all with a buffer. Done. BUT awesome write up bro, and beautiful truck. EDIT; Btw are you using autoloc solenoids and poppers for your doors?

EDIT; Btw are you using autoloc solenoids and poppers for your doors? Thank you. You're correct, i used a fiberglass resin. I did mention no mat was used though. I suppose the resin is not needed, but I was going to go to a show and it was supposed to rain, so i resined it. I knocked the primer down and then wet sanded up to 600 grit to ensure there was no texture once the basecoat was applied. After that I did not sand anything, including the clear coat. I'm actually using door lock actuators for my doors. Not the standard set-up, but they do not draw near the amount of current of the solenoids and work well with the aftermarket latches.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I don't have a booth to spray in so I have to wet sand the clear lol. What actuators and poppers? I am going to do my truck and I am think the actuators would work fine, but was told use solenoids and know they take a lot of current.
