Hi again,
I am not the brightest light on the Christmas tree when it comes to coach painting. With regards to my 2inch, do i need to rub down between the primer and undercoat, then rub down undercoat for the topcoat? Also,how many coats of each would be advisable on each coat? Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Mike
