Filler and Primer

Image
Filler I used a gallon of Evercoat Rage Ultra from a painters suggestion. It sands easier. And with great expenditure of sand paper all the obvious low spots were filled. I started with 40 in a random orbital (electric DA equivalent) and moved to 80 grit on a larger board. Then 120 grit on a large board. Primer High build primer. I used 3 coats Evercoat Optex Super Build 4:1, which sprays on pink and sands grey. So its essentially urethane primer, filler and guide coat in on. Started sanding with 220 grit on a large block, this created a ton of dust. Then I moved to 320 on a large block, which really cleaned up the entire thing.  Trailer It looked pretty good but there were several areas I wished I filled/sanded that showed up in the sun on the trailer.

I chose Toyota Cavalry because its close to the original, its available (for repairs) it looks good and the 2 metallic swatches were way to metallic for my tastes.
