Great job Pharraway, it's always nice to see someone block primer the way it should be done I do it the same way but also use guide coat before each grit on the DA, my old eyes are not so good these days so want to make sure I remove all the sanding scratches from the blocking, subscribed to your channel 👍 John UK.

[@MrCbell57]

Anytime you see a shiny area you’ve already gone to far on the blocking. You will always have a high and a low area. But I cannot believe so many shops or garages have their compressor running right next to workers. They are loud and the noise is distracting not only for videos but for you. lol I always put the compressors outside or in another area of shop further away. It’s so much nicer to not have the irritating loud churning noise of em coming on and running all the time. I work in a body shop so I’m doing this all day long. 10 hours of blocking daily. Thanks. Good job explaining to those who are just getting started.

I did this trade and everything about it is hazardous to your health. Painting cars sucks

[@MrCbell57]

Collision repair today is $2000 clear per week for five days work. Sometimes twice or three times that depending on type of cars you work with. But it requires years of skill building and dedication to the trade. I e worked in several body shops and the bosses can make over 200k per year usually in high volume shops. It’s a money maker!

@@MrCbell57 just do some cars in the side. One car a month you can charge 5000-10,000k from start to finish, while working your job at the shop. It’s a money maker. A big one if you use your head.

I did a fiberglass truck lid and blocked between 400,600 and 800. Still missed a bunch of low spots. If you happen to have a low spot where you didn’t spray guide you will miss those low spots. In the beginning I could feel some and knew they were there but the ones I missed I couldn’t feel. I did float a layer of water on it but should of backed up and checked. I was to close. So much to learn.

I sprayed Speedokote 2k primer. mix ration on can. It was like setting up in the gun, had to keep clearing the needle hole with my glove. sprayed dry even turning down air pressure and fan adjust didn't seem to help. turned out really ruff. Any experience like that?

[@VegasRT500]

I have primed and block sanded and guide coated my car 3 times and I am confident that it is very straight. What do you do if there are some very, very, very small edges that got sanded through to bare metal. They are so small they are the width of a small needle. Do you get out the primer gun, mix a little bit more primer and try to spot prime those very small areas. It seems like I am going to be chasing my tail when it comes to these very mall break throughs to metal. Any input would be appreciated and thanks!

[@charlesrutherford4785]

Looking good. Questions for you about a couple of things. I was surprised that you used nitrostan under the paint like that - I know you'll put a sealer on but nitrostan is really nothing but a thick lacquer primer. I was told to always use a hardened polyester. And on the small areas that were a little high, you just let those be? No problem just wasn't sure if we missed anything there. Last - what grit paper do you recommend on plastic body components where the paint needs to be removed and feathered? Thank you!

[@PHARRAWAY]

Hi yes I have used that for a long time and never had any issues, I will use 400 grit to feather out the paint

[@Boats29]

I have a couple of questions. I was blocking my car out in 320 with dura blocks thanks for the tip on those super handy with all the different sizes and shapes. I had a whole bunch of spots that came through metal or through to the filler. I think I didn't put enough high build primer on. Should I etch the bare metal spots than re prime the whole thing since there were so many spots? I realize your time is valuable and you already share so much so if you would prefer to private message me and I can pay for a consultation. Thanks again.

[@PHARRAWAY]

yes it will be better to apply etch first then re prime

[@big-chunguswiththeglizzy685]

we use charcoal at work for guide coat honestly works better then black bomb can

[@Gerardo-cv7kw]

Quick question When you go through to metal like this on some areas and you spray sef etching primer, do you sand it before you spray the sealer or is not necessary?

[@PHARRAWAY]

No not necessary just apply your primer or sealer

[@RealGenX]

Not sure why anyone uses a spray guide coat, a dry rub on is instantly ready to sand and doesn’t clog paper at all

[@brunoburtoni8479]

What grit did u block sand the body filler , this is very important, because most people block the surrounded area and are back to square 1.

[@PHARRAWAY]

220 and then 320

[@davidandlaurablevins68]

I'm working on a 40 Ford Fender and it is like sanding a large egg! I was just wondering what would be the best block to use on something like that?

[@PHARRAWAY]

On that one go with a soft block brother

[@big-chunguswiththeglizzy685]

is some stuff he should have mentioned like when you masking for primer you want to hardline everything the opposite of when you are painting and damn whoever did the Bondo didn't do the best job flattening when I'm blocking primer I almost never run into areas that low but if course all our body techs have been doing here for 30 years

[@alialsaeedi1024]

The only issue with spraying black paint as a guide coat it will ruin the sandpaper so quickly.
