[quote=”bondomerchant” post=17464][quote=”MoCoke” post=17463]the black sealer is gonna throw ur color off and cost you a lot of color. better to buy some light gray sealer or a buff color preferably then it is to buy and apply so much base.[/quote]
good advice moke:cheers :cheers :cheers sealer is cheaper than base[/quote]cheaper, quicker and less of a chance of trapped solvents from all those extra coats of base.
If you have a black and white spray out card, spray that when you check your colour. You will know how many coats to hide after that…
I disagree,when… if ever have you sprayed black and white checkerboard sealer:silly: Spray the color of sealer you are going to use on the spray out card first then apply your basecoat , you will know the true number of coats you need for coverage and to check color match.Sometimes the color of sealer can cause a difference but really coverage is coverage.
while sanding some bondo and thinking about this, i remember ford golds used to have a red oxide color primer underneath :stoned

I always spray my sealer in a black and white checker board pattern, what kind of crazy sealer are you using??? :rofl
The concept is simply coverage…if the base hides black and hides white, it should hide anything (so long as bleed through is not an issue).
Geez Ben you are starting to sound like the Captain….no sh!t it’s about coverage.You missed my point,when doing a color check with a transparent color, a checkerboard sprayout card isn’t going to show you d!ck except it takes 5 coats to get coverage.If you use the same color sealer on the card while you are doing the job you will get a more accurate idea of how many coats for covearge and colormatch. :p
You are absolutely right about red oxide mo,I try to duplicate the same color sealer that the factory uses,works very well. :clappy
I have to go with jayson on this one. Sprayouts should be sealed the same color that you are doing the car. How many coats to coverage doesn’t mean that much. I have seen silvers cover a sprayout but still be a little lighter than the sealed counterpart. There is such a thing as getting percieved coverage without reaching the correct color value yet. Your spray out should mimic exactly what your doing on the car.
Well, it looks like I got b1tch slapped! :rofl
:cheers
All in good fun Benny 😉
well now we’re back to finding a source of the stuff…
the only way I get sealer in town is in gallons, and it’s the martin senour garbage I totally hate…
You don’t know what you’re talking about Bob! :chair
CS293 is the shiznit.I had a bad experience…. Consistently I have had mediocre to crappy results and lots of issues with MS stuff, so whether it’s good or not I’m going to whine about it while I shoot the diarrhea they call paint 😡

ur starting ta make me think ya dont like ol martin manure:whistle: :whistle:We punish traitors around these here parts! :hunt
Yeah, Martin Manure has a lot of crap. (Like CP400 Epoxy, omfg Dog shit dries out faster than that crap.) :deadhorse
But the CS293 really is a good sealer.well that’s the only sealer I’ve got! I’ll give it another shot with something resembling optimism.
thanks
:cheers
try some transtar sealer.
