I’m the idiot in question but I’ve managed to form and weld on new rear arches to the rear of my Shogun. I’ve got as far as flattening the body filler and getting all the paints and coatings I require with hardeners and thinners, along with the relevant mix ratios.
The inner arch has some surface rust and were it has been thinned out has been cut away and repaired. Today I’m giving it a coat of Hydrate 80, after removing all surface rust, to hopefully make it last a bit longer. This requires 24 hours to cure fully before it can be painted over. I then need to add Tiger Seal over the join between the inner and outer arch to prevent water getting trapped.
I’m using a 2k primer, paint and clear coat on the outer arches. with just primer and then Gravitex under the wheel arch. There is also a patch on the rear left where I set fire to the car but the less sad about the better.
My confusion is should I put the Tiger Seal on before or after the primer as it states that needs 24 hours to cure before painting too?
Also am I right in the primer needs to dry before applying the base coats then around 10-15 minutes between base coats and the same with clear coat?
