heres how i do my jobs:
-high build, guide coat, 180 dry, touch up knicks and chips
-high build, guide coat, 320 dry-straight block then circle sand.(no straight lines)
-sealer, base, intercoat, 1500 just to knock the trash down and denib,( not a full on wet sand, just a slight scuff)
-2 more coats of base then clear.
-600 wet the clear then reclear.

im just not a huge fan of wetsanding and i feel the dry paper and block is way less hassle and has a straighter result. u can skip the 180 step if your not lookin for show quality. i just like to be sure! i think another key is letting the primer dry thoroughly so that you dont get any shrinking. there is more than one way to skin a cat. this is just how i do it and have amazing results.


i know alot of ppl that do use 400 wet instead of 320 dry though. your call. ive done both and just dont like the wet sanding mess and the paper exchange.

be sure to blow off the car and give it a good bath after your blocking and stuff. it will save alot of hassle as far as trash.
