Hi could I just ask what is a foundation coat?

I think he meant a wet bed as some of us call it, almost like a transparent sealer that is applied before or during base coat application for blending high/coarse metallic colours.
Thanks, and thats a single rfu product you buy?
Not sure what other shops are using, but for our orientation/wet bed coat, we use PPG D895 ‘Colour Blender’, reduced 1:1, and applied with a basecoat gun (GTI Pro 1.3 with a T1 tip).
So, it’s not technically an RFU product and we wouldn’t use anything of the sort as a substitute orientation coat. We also take the D895 out into the adjacent panel if the blend is being done inside the main panel.
Any sealer or WOW primer we lay down will be [i]under[/i] the basecoat. We use the D895 as it is part of the PPG Deltron GRS basecoat system, thus everything is compatible.
PS: Re the scuff pads, if you find the grey pads are still leaving sanding scratches (we notice this on PP-E bumpers especially), you can use the 3M Scotch Brite 07745 gold scuff pads. They are even finer and work great!
