Another About Primer

[ChopinPorkChop]

Ok i know there is prob alot of threads that roughly answer my Q but i would jus like to have an answer to my prob.... Ok i bought a diecast plastic bike, took it apart, sanded down body with prob 600/800 and finished with 2000.. it took all paint off and then i applied some primer.. it filled in any rough spots and i sanded down the entire layer. so now it is smooth but i can obviously see the scratches but if i rub my hand over them i feel nothing.. will this show on my paint job? and what is my next step? apply another coat of primer and paint?


thnx

You could have avoided sanding the paint down, by stripping the paint with CSC/DOT3. Anyway, give it a few more shots of primer, then sand it down enough so you haven't lost any detail, but have covered the scratches.

actually I was worrying about the scratches on the primer as well
but as long as u sand the car in one direction, and then u paint your car
it should be find! (as shown on my 360 below)

fine scrathes on the primer will show through on your paint. Remember paint hides nothing
