Did my body work on top of the apoxy and then used Evercoats Featherfill or Slick Sand to get it straight and then recoated it with epoxy prime before color. Am I living in the past? or is there a new way to achieve the same affect? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | about usual, although you shouldn't need the 2nd shot of epoxy primer, a sanding primer or sealer primer before the color is "standard"
