Are you sanding between each coat of Aerogloss SS, or putting on a few coats then giving it a sanding and applying more and more sanding?

1. Apply sanding sealer.
2. Apply another coat without sanding before. 3. Sand 220-320 4. Apply sanding sealer. 5. Sand 220-320 6 Apply sanding sealer 7. Sand 320-400 8. Use a good primer, this is the key. I use light coats until smooth or until I see a major flaw that needs fixing. 9. sand until smooth. 10 Apply base coat, normally flat white for me. 11. Then I go straight to my final coat, no sanding before or after. |

Good point! After ALL of that work, don't use a crappy primer or top coat!
