Sorry but I have another question for you guys.

How much sealer and K36 do I need to buy?

And also let me get this straight. Do I seal first then prime or do I prime first and then seal? I read Lars's paper but I have also heard that the sealer goes on after the primer. Do you sand the sealer also?

:smash: :crazy: :crazy:

If you use the k36 primer, do not wet sand. You must dry sand as it will soak up water and create problems down the road. I would use k36 or standox spray poly fill. Dry sand with flexable long board 280 or 320 grit then seal when you get ready to spray color. Follow all directions and Flash times. I am thinking you will need at least 3 qts k36 for 2 good coats. :cheers:

A couple of light coats of DP mixed as sealer is a good idea before K36 (or any primer surfacer) to seal and create a good bonding surface for the primer/surfacer. I sealed mine and used Evercoat Slik Sand to do the rough body work, then K36 for final sanding before BC/CC. If you have a good starting surface & it is prepped correctly, and the painting budget is an issue, you can K36 right on top without the DP. If you have an even K36 surface before BC/CC, you can also skip the DP, but it is recommended that you dont. I have skipped it before and it worked out fine. But I still like the additional security of the DP underneath. Also, you can get the DP in a color that closely matches your BC so you use less paint to cover the surfacer. Good Luck!

Also to answer your first question..You'll need about 3 qts of surfacer...but buy a gallon the be sure...and a qt of DP for each application...1 qt to seal before surfacer and 1 qt to seal before BC...if you do it this way. Also, you'll need a bigger nozzle to spray unreduced surfacer.
