A Comment and Answer From "Fill & Finish" Posts

Openroad commented:
I’ve had decent results with Rusto High Build Primer/Filler, #249279 version - the label looks like a riveted on plate - but the Duplicolor definitely sands easier. The extra solids in high build primer is a big help in getting things smooth. You use much finer sandpaper than I have the patience for, which is why your rockets look that much better than mine! Thanks for the step by step Chris, helpful stuff.


My response:
Hi Openroad,
Regarding sandpaper grits - The new (colored sheet, blue and purple) sandpapers are better than the old black sheets. The new stuff doesn't load up as quickly and will last longer. But, the new 400 grit seems rougher and can leave scratches that can show up after color coats are sprayed. I'm starting to final sand with 800 grit before spraying paint.
