How to block primer. diy auto body, sanding primer

[@big-chunguswiththeglizzy685]

I work in high end paint shop I started 7 months ago I'm only 23 and luckily all of our body techs have been doing it for 30 years plus so luckily blocking is always a breeze only ever run into very small low spots, our paint shop is very on point compared to other ones I'm told at least I get 2 to 3 cars completely prepped for paint a day we do 4 paint shoots and one parts shoot a day, does anyone know if that is average for a paint shop but we do typically only work on higher end cars if we really wanted we could slam out more than that but there would b a bunch of hardlines and stuff if they were lower end cars

i have a similar panel to fix. It's a front fender with a body line through the center that the fender curves up and down from. I'm having a hard time keeping the line straight while filling the dent just above and below it. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Or suggestions? Thanks.

[@GarageNoise]

Ues some tape block up to it then put tape on bottom of the line and block down to it. Hope this helps

@@GarageNoise You are welcome. Keep it up.

can i leave the scratch at 400 grit for the paint ?

[@GarageNoise]

In some cases yes, solid colors you're good but If you paintin high metallics those metallics can lay funny in a 400 grit scratch and cause a problem with the orientation of the metallics. That's why I finish with 600 for no issues.

[@stephens6063]

@@GarageNoise ohhh ok sounds good thank you man, also another question, what grit should i start at before applying my primer, and is it okay to leave at 320 before applying the primer?

Should they be long or short strokes

[@GarageNoise]

Long enough to cover the complete repair area.

How do you like the mirka system? Looking to upgrade to the blocks or similar tire of the dust i currently use dura blocks

[@GarageNoise]

Seriously, I was just talking about this with someone today. By far the best tool I've ever purchased! Only wish I would have done it sooner.

[@rontardiff3679]

Does your long board have a vac attachment? If so what is the manufacturer name?

[@GarageNoise]

I'm not sure about in this video but I use the mirka dustless block system.

[@marcchantal5016]

Where do you get your leads from?

[@GarageNoise]

Referals, repeat customers, google listing is important. Go above and beyond for you customer. Make evey customer happy. Don't lower prices!

[@ZiggyWarren]

Good vid. I noticed you started blocking your sanding with 320, instead of 180 or 220 sand paper....

[@GarageNoise]

I like to finish my bodywork with 320 and then prime and block with 320.

[@ronherkey148]

I think the video was cut a tad short.. Should of block sanded it out again .

[@DZ32100]

Where can I get that block sander

[@GarageNoise]

This is the one I use it's made for the mirka vacum system. There are many on Amazon that will be cheaper. amzn.to/3CzYa2b
