[73charger440]

I was wanting advice on what kind of paint to use as a guide coat? my uncle says just to use cheap rattle can seeing how most gets sanded off.my car has been sanded to bare metal and has etch and epoxy nason primer on it.and I'm useing z grip on dents and all metal filler on welded joints.I was told I could use the z grip over the epoxy but wasn't sure so far sanded to bare metal.and what kind of glazing putty do u guys use over low spots when doing ur guide coat?

Sounds like you have no hi Build Primer Surfacer on it yet? If not what are you guide coating, are you looking for low spots to body fill? LEON.

Yah I'm looking for low spots.the last car I painted the body work looked good to the eye and felt even but after putting on the paint it was pretty wavy in spots so to want just take my time and get it perfect before laying down paint.and my uncle said to use flat black over areas were u do body work and block it and the paint would stay in the low spots but didn't want iinterfer with the final paint like it not sticky because of the type of primer I use as a guide coat.

Alot of cheap spray bombs are Enamel & dry slow & gum up the paper. Use a fast dry Laquer, mist it on light. OR, If you really want to,  The paint stores sell a spray bomb called Guide Coat & I think SEM or 3M may make it also. LEON.

I really like 3m's guidecoat powder.  Put it on with the applicator and it's ready to go.

This stuff is like a black graphite powder and you put it on with an included powder puff applicator.
