but you run the risk of leaves and shit gettin stuck in the paint.

+ mozzies seem to be atracted to fresh paint fumes! :lol::lol:

I'd just sand the car back with 220ish sand paper then prime

So you dont have to have it realy smooth before primer?

:oops::oops: Iv blocked most of the body with back400-500wet.

Was told to get the best finish you had to do it, thats 1/2 the reason my vans taking so long = i hate sanding

Is your van REALLY straight?, if so you can paint straight over the paint, just throw down sealer first.. but being and old car i doubt its straight unless its been panelled and painted before and your doing a colour change

Yeah mozzies are cunts, gotta paint before about 2-3 in the afternoon when outside, personal experience with the mozzies haha.

Just go over what you have sanded with 220ish.. then prime and your all go

You might be able to prime straight over, but I think the point of primer is to etch into the scratches? Could be wrong though

Now thats got me confused, about wetting the floor.. when I did the Colt the guy who set it all up for me wet the floor before we rolled the car in there, it was dryish before I got cracking on the paint though, Avenger what do you do?

theres so many things wrong with that link.haha using masking tape to rip out a run :rolleyes:

wetting the floor is sweet,as long as its not freezing cold weather/water.

make sure the floors clean anywho

using masking paper to remove a run is more common that you would expect. It means that you can feather it out if you are only a few coats in without having to wait for it to dry or without ever touching the car with sandpaper, usefull technique in high volume shops.
