Bare metal the panel,
Fill the dent,
Prime the panel. I would used 2k high build octaral or similar one drop coat 2 full coats.
Flat with 500da,
Colour
Clear.
I found some 800 after. I’ll get some 80, 180 etc with the block set when it arrives as they were sold with it. I’ll buy some 400 as a go between. I might just 800 wet sand from the off. Do you guys ever wet sand primer? I normally do but quite a few people have said to me dry sand. I’d prefer wet sanding. I can wait a while and get the infrared on it. Or just dry sand.
It’s just every time I dry sand the floor becomes a desert. With wet sanding it’s so clean. Bucket of water, using scuff pads to de gum the sanding paper and wiping the muck off the panel with a microfibre.
