Love the video. I've always thought a guy could use original paint (even several coats) as a primer for initial blocking. I'd probably guide-coat it real good because I'm a newbie and I can easily see what I'm doing that way. Save on primer plus get blocking experience...

@67dodgepolara I agree, if an imperfection blocks out before priming, there is no reason to use primer surfacer. However, if you sand through to metal, self etch or epoxy primer should be sprayed on the metal surface for corrosion protection. Thanks for watching... Send me some pics or reply to this video with a video of your project if you get a chance.

what grit and how do you deal with non flat surfaces?

[ButlerCollision]

@vochitoken If you are just blocking paint to check for lows, I would use 320 grit on a block. If no dents are found go back over the paint with 400 to 600 before painting. Thanks for watching.

when block sanding a car do you have to use the X(moving at a angle) movement. Instead of sanding it at and up and down movement

[ButlerCollision]

@yaboyprime614 It is good to sand in different directions. Sanding in only one direction will not level as well as the x pattern. So you can sand up and down occasionally, but mix that up using the x pattern as well. Thanks for watching.

i noticed the student kept turning the block to cross sand. He's supposed to keep the block straight and just move the block diagonally right?

It's good to know that there are still Eagle fans out there (unless you're a bandwagon jumper). I still got my 7 year old McNabb jersey.
