Hey Folks,
I know this has been talked to death but here goes anyway. I have decided I
can fill, prime, and sand til doomsday or just paint it. I think I have
gotten it reasonably smooth but have ended up with NOT a complete covering
of Polyfiber UV Smoothprime in the process. I am determined to go no further
with the sanding portion to remove anymore or put anymore on now that it is
smooth. But will someone give me a definitive formula of primers (epoxy?)
and paint combinations, including brands, potion numbers etc, that will act
as a UV blocker and give me a glossy, repairable/upgradable paint job that
can be color sanded (by someone else if desired) but not requirred, to get
the "wet look"? I hope this makes sense. I guess in a nutshell, can I get UV
protection from the finish process, not relying on a partial coat of UV
smooth prime?
What about the shop in Lakeland that did so many Europas? I know they
preferred no pre-priming at all. What products did they use? Can anyone tell
me the details of their mix? They sure made Bob Berube's plane sparkle.
