56 Ford F100
Posted: Thu May 31, 2012 11:35 pm
I am painting a 56 Ford f100 and I had a few questions... As of right now, the cab has been primed, and I have 3 coats of slicksand on it.
I have seen some people say top coating slicksand is fine and according to the tech sheet it is fine too. I can see why it would be difficult however due to the amount of material that comes off while sanding.
Anyways the question is, should I block it with 220 and go straight to 400 after that in preparation for paint? It has already been blocked out twice now.
Also, I am painting the interior as well and as far as the order of things, I was curious if someone could tell me the best way to go about it. By this I mean, paint the dash as a separate deal from everything else and then do the exterior or do the exterior then interior first?
Pictures to come.
