Guide Coat
Curious to here what others have used.... I purchased this stuff to give it a try but I am not to keen on it. It is very difficult to clean up..
http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/3m-d...1-p-11157.aspx
So, if i use a spray paint product... as I listed below, for the valleys were the paint is left how do I prep to put a layer of epoxy fairing compound...? Do I still roughly sand it to make it rough and then apply???

Whats worked best for the others??????????

The surface should be clean and dry, I always clean with the shop magic universal solvent Acetone and wipe the 3-M one direction or pat on.It is a good product been around for a while.

You can use anything for a guide coat with heavy paper,But
Using the fine paper we sand to 2000 and better, you need a guide coat that will not clog that paper, we also sand dry with silicon carbide paper.
