Thread: Darn Poke Throughs!!!

Tweet

I'm just wetsanding my Model A body now and it's coming out better than I expected. I've managed to get rid of just about all the lines I could see with the primer. I do have three little poke throughs of metal though, about 1/8" max by about 3/4" long on the biggest and just a scratch on the others. Do you guys just touch these up and re-sand or do I have to do the whole panel again?? I don't even want to mix up more primer for that little could I just use a spray bomb type epoxy??

Now I gotta figure out how to wash it in -25C and a hose as hard as steel.

If it were mine I would spot prime (With a gun) the bad spot & then wet sand/repaint it. Any corner cutting is asking for problems.

Yea you're probably right, I haven't started painting the exterior yet, just primed so far.

No spray bombs. Chemically real paint and primers are 'hotter' and will usually burn the bomb primer causing that nasty leather wrinkle area where the bomb primer was used.

Sounds like it might be just a tad high in those places, i would use a pick hammer and dolly to take em down just a touch,then glaze, block, prime and block those spots again.
