Hi

 

I'm about to paint a Pick up (non-mini) in solvent basecoat in Mazda 28W (Radiant Ebony).

 

 

The body has been fully primed in a High build primer, but it was a white/light grey primer as the original plan was to paint it white.

 

1. Would any of our resident painters recommend applying a black surfacer/wet on wet primer before applying the Basecoat?

and

2. Could I use Upol high build black primer as a wet on wet surfacer? It seems to say its suitable as a surfacer on the upol.com site, but not on the uk version edit: tho I now notice that they have different product numbers.

 

cheers

 

Ryan

Normally i wouldnt bother colour building it, but i use waterbase paints which have great hiding power, most of the time..........lol

 

I tend to forget the poor opacity that solvent basecoat has, i would maybe just buy some straight black base coat and give it a coat of that

 

You have to be really on point spraying a sealer primer it has to end up ultra smooth to allow the base to sit nicely

 

Where as a prior coat of black basecoat would perhaps be easier to apply, really depends on you experience at the end of the day.
