It'll sit this week in white as we sand it in 600, remove the high build edges and reprep it for the red. On test panels, the red requires six coats to cover fully. It looks like 5 can do it, but there's no sense in risking having a stripe appear after it's buffed. More to come soon. Man this process is a bitch!
