Applying SlickSand!!
Mother Nature rained us out at the last moment on Saturday, so we finally got everything together in the scorching heat on Sunday afternoon and sprayed some SlickSand.
Mind you, this is our first time spraying anything with this spraygun, with this compressor, that is this thick, this complicated to mix, and this expensive.
No pressure, right?!?
Well, I think it turned out great. It took 4 coats on the insides of the door and 3 on the outsides to do the job. See for yourself!

The next step for the doors is to apply some graphite known as guide coat. The guide coat adheres to the panel very well, but is applied dry so it doesn't chemically bond to the panel.
The sandpaper knocks the guide coat off of the high spots, revealing the lows spots on the panel.
We will sand the doors to 180 grit, then apply more guide coat and sand to 320 grit. At that point, we'll be ready to apply one more coat of SlickSand to be sanded to 500 grit.

Then we just have to repeat the steps for the rest of the car.
