Best way?
Well folks in the middle of the time consuming body work on my f-100.
Its actually coming to an end. But i was wondering something...
Is there any way to easily fix all the little imperfections? Like low spots where the paint was sanded down to metal and theres paint around it? Or just little nicks and scrapes?
If i just paint it with primer multiple times, will it fill the cracks and what not??
Thanks yall

You want to feather all the paint by sanding (including the areas where there are nicks and scrapes) You also want to sand down any area where the paint is cracked. It will transfer thru your new paint at sometime. As for the low spots, it not a big deal, just make sure it was feathered properly. Easiest way to tell is after sanding all those areas, prime and then block sand to see if there are still any low spots. Might be able to get rid of them with more primer and sanding, or more sandinging then primer (depending on how bad)
