Ok, I have completed most of my process of my screen molding... and have a few questions about going forward

this is the piece before any modification...

i then epoxied/sanded/bondo/sand/primer/sand

this is what i have as of now...

since those pictures i have gotten most of the imperfections out and am wondering what sanding procedure to use...

i was going to do one last 320 and then 600 to achieve a pretty smooth factory like surface...(no texture), but I want to know if this is the correct procedure... i would rather not re sand and repaint if im not happy with the finish...

all help is greatly appreciated!

cheers

don't forget to putty those holes first!

question... putty is body filler? or is it a seperate product?

usually seperate, its lighter and faster drying than body filler. It is usually used to fill in the small holes that can form in body filler after sanding. You could slap more filler on there, but you would probably end up with the same issue.

i see so who sells "(spot?) putty"? i dont really have any problems with pinholes btw, just certain uneven spots and i also need to fix my buttons... i think that primer gave me the illusion i was done lol...Note: above pics were before large amounts of sanding that was just my lackluster performance with a rattlecan so when i sprayed it with the final paint it was more glossy and i could see EVERY LAST imperfection! so yeah... lots to do before sunday...

thanks for the help
