Hi,

My first post, and I've done a seach for help topics on priming a car body and primera man help with his "how to". Problem is just how many coats can you get away with, as I sprayed my first coat of white primer and it showed a few marks in the body that I had to fix.

I used 1200 then 1500 wet n dry to remove the marks, and the body is really smooth, but I went through to the gray primer below the white as I applied a coat of gray primer first then a coat of white, and in some small places to the actual plastic colour (red), so if I coat again this is three coats. Is this getting too much, as the panel lines are still well visable but not sure.

As you can guess this is the first time I've sprayed a car body using primer. Oh and because I couldn't get Tamiya primer I got angry and went and got some automotive plastic primer. Hope I haven't stuffed this, as to be honest the underbody I sprayed came out really well.

Thanks everyone.
