We sanded the doors with guide coat, and today we cleaned them off and sprayed two more coats.
We also cleaned up the hood and sprayed three coats on it. It takes a lot of SlickSand to put a coat on the hood, almost 24 ounces! With 8 ounces, we could coat one side of both doors and still havesome leftover. I ordered a third gallong today because I'm certain we're going to need it.
Spraying that much SlickSand requires two batches to be prepared and sprayed to get a single coat. That added lots of time to the process; we spent more than 4-1/2 hours spraying and cleaning today.
Spraying the hood with SlickSand in the yard was interesting. There was a good breeze and no clouds, so we had to keep moving a portable shade over the hood while the SlickSand cured between coats to keep the sun from heating up the hood.
The resultes were good, and now we have more sanding to do. With the long weekend coming up, we might get the rest of the body SlickSanded.
