do you mist it with black spray paint before you block it?

No, it's a day and night contrast from cut to un-cut primer (sanded and untouched)
No "guide coat" needed here. See how dark the door is? I havent touched that door yet with the sandpaper. So the areas that the block foats over remain dark like that door.
Here you can see WHY I surface and block sand.
Brand new steel isn't perfect. I have high and low spots. Granted it's ever so minor, but this block sanding shows it all. I will be hitting these big long quarters with another coat of polyester prime and re-blocking before final prime.
Yeah, the fenders need some rust holes cut out and patches fit/welded. Also some hammer work and the inner to outer fender area had to be seperated for cleaning, rustproofing and to be properly joined with a sealing compound.
Pus i wanted to redo all the fasteners and gain better access to the radiator support and the corners of the cowel.
With that much polyester primer, are you monitoring for excessive film thickness?? I figure you are blocking most of it off, but, still, 2 heavy applications are going to really build film thickness.

This last shot I'll be spot priming any low areas and laying one light coat across the doors and quarters.
Actually it's looking so good right now that I may just jump to the 2K urethane.
no chit Archie, Dave is such a slacker, he keeps this up and I vote we quit paying him!
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
