Primer and guide coat........

no

i just put a moggie roof in primer and guide coat.
then sanded it to perfection for whenever its gonna get glossed.
that will be befor it goes on the road.

primer and guide coat looks okish but isnt it more of a statement than anything else.

just seams pointless to do all that work and not finish it

Works for me.



Not trying to make any kind of statement, i just liked the way it looked and drove around like this for nearly two years.

I did paint it satin black last year, and its getting bare metaled as soon as the current rebuild is finished.

no guide, but my car in primer looks the nuts.

I think there's a chopped grey primer and guide coat 105E as well fogey

Isn't primer porous? So surely driving around a car in primer is making your car a moving rust target (unless you live in a hot and dry country lol!).

Saying that, the Anglia looks the mutts nuts like that.

Yeah most primers are porus as is body filler and satin black so it's all bad news for the steel underneath...

Also the paints don't just let it through over time it actually absorbs some of it to, so really once primers been out getting soaking wet for more than a few days it needs to all come off again to do a proper job.

All the grey primered cars look awful but the anglia does have a pretty sweet look about it, might just be that it's a cool looking car though as i think it would look much nicer still in gloss black or dark met blue..

A gloss paint job(already 'sealed') then primer G/C on the top is OK . I also like silk finish paintjobs ,achieved by mixing matting agent with the gloss.Admittedly the gloss finish repels dirt/water easier ,but who can admit to NOT liking that red Anglia? My Lowrider is shiny ,and a pain in the ---- to keep cleaning!
