Today I used some 220 grit sandpaper to go over the first coat of primer. After sanding I used the air hose to blow away any dust left from the sandpaper, followed by a wipe down with a tack cloth to make sure I got it all. I then hit it with the second coat. I went with a vertical spray pattern on this coat since I used a horizontal spray for the first coat. You can't even see the big scratch that was in the interior side anymore. Before and After: Paint is extremely smooth. I think that will be the last coat of primer and now onto the main color! |

No problem. One other thing I did....at this phase in my painting, I was having trouble seeing the new spray as I was spraying over the dried primer (it's white on white), so I found it very helpful to add a tiny bit of the blue paint to the primer to just tint it a little, not much. Then I was able to see the coat I was spraying against the previous coat. It worked great. |

WunderCade - Nice tip. Should I be concerned / jealous at the amount of enjoyment I get from seeing a well primered bit of plywood? Your results with your lack of experience gives me hope for my own cab. |
