Clivey, when I lay a basecoat down it NEVER looks that rough. If it did, I would then have to spend hours sanding it. Who pays for that?
Sure, block sand the primer for a nice flat key. Then base it. Followed by the clear. Last time I saw paint laid on like that was celly paint!

latest materials and equipment allow you to lay lovely flat coats, using less materials and saving a lot of time and money.

Most of the time, I now only need to use 1 1/2 coats of clear for a perfect finish. I dont even have to sand and buff, unless the client is looking for an extra special custom finish. I hope the boss fella (Ivor ) agrees? Perhaps I am doing it wrong!?

But hey! They must know what they are doing. They are earning a lot more than I am.... =D>

If I had to do all that sanding, I would have to charge a lot mopre for my work. HHHmmmmmmmm...... Perhaps I AM doing it all wrong! :shock:

Like you know anything about me or my work? If you did, you would know how stupid that last remark makes you look.

I don't think Jeffs paintwork rusts after 3-4 years either. :thumbright:
