I’m giving away a FREE 85-page Auto Body Manual plus a FREE 90-minute Auto Body and Paint DVD. To learn more about auto body and paint and how you can apply these same strategies in your home garage and in your workshop…check out the LearnAutoBodyAndPaint VIP Training Course right now. We’re not yet doing it this time, but we’ll be using black base coat. You want the whole thing grey (in one color), before you start applying base coat. But if you want to and you’re mixing some up, you could spray some 2K primer back over it and then hit those spots again. Like I said, you could also put 1K primer with a spray can. If you have any spots, put glaze putty in the area. We show you the rest inside our VIP Course. This is basically how your clear coat is going to look on the finished product.Īlso, if you see orange peel at this stage, just keep block-sanding until it comes out like glass. See how nice that looks? You can even see the reflection of the ceiling on it. It came out looking pretty good.Īfter wet sanding, you could see how smooth it looks. You don’t want to go too deep or you’ll take it all out again. Then you’re ready for paint.Īfter putting some glaze putty over the dent, I just block-sanded it with a 400-grit sandpaper. I can mix up some 2K primer and just do the whole thing or you could get some high-build 1K primer (those in can) and just hit those spots quickly, let it dry and then scuff it down with a 400-grit sandpaper. We won’t worry about the bare metal spot because we will still wet sand the whole tank one last time and then re-prime it. You can use your finger to put putty on those hard to get areas like the round edges. Using a putty knife, I dabbed the glaze putty on the spot, just filling it in. I use the tip of a sandpaper to gouge it in, sanded it again. So we block-sanded it flat and saw the dent. I’ll show you some of that stuff on the next videos. You just put it on, wipe it on and it stays on. Then I put glaze putty (spot putty) and filled up the low spot. So I went ahead put a guide coat on and block-sanded it dry with a 400-grit sandpaper. When I was sanding this primer out flat, I saw a little dimple on the tank.
SPOT PUTTY HOW TO
In this video, I’ll show you how to guide coat and block sand spot putty to fix small dents.
