What do you do when you are doing your final blocking before base coat and you hit metal on a corner or something? Should you reshoot primer? I know if it's a high spot you should deal with it, but if you just got a little carried away blocking an edge, how should that be dealt with? I'm going through this now.

These Swede finish paint jobs are very forgiving.

If this was a high 10 out of 10 paint jobs i would do things a bit different.

 

i have to remember this is a 10k car, not a 10k paint job. The owner knows. I do get carried away alot.

 

I like to seal my paint jobs with DP primer sealer epoxy. so small areas where you break threw, not a big deal. however if you do not seal your paint job then break thews need to be reprimed

 

Sanding is 98% done

1st I torched the rust out of the hinge so it would move again

 

Then clean and weld everything back together
