HI All,

I've got the electric twins in white k-36 primer.

I tried something new, I mixed in 1 part DCC white with 2 parts k-36 - reduced that to 50% with DT870 and shot a nice thin coat. It not a pur white but it is a couple shades whiter than the straight k-36. I am sanding this out to 400 dry right now (5:30am) and will shoot another overreduced coat of k-36/white dcc this time mixed 1 : 1.

looking great so far and I think this mixture with the DCC tint is the wa to go and it's should be much lighter in weight than straight k-36 - plus so far it seems to sand and fill just like the k-36.

I also found two new (to me ) products at my paint store that should be helpful. One is this spary can of PPG Adhesive remover - should be great for cleanup after using spary masks. and the other is this scuffing paste to be used with the grey superfine sctochbrite pads. The paint scheme on these electrics requires the white base to be overpainted with trim colors, I am hoping this scuffing paste will speed the job....



back to sanding
