    We're waiting for delivery, delayed by the snow storm. What did you use for removing the tape residue on the body?

    Buy a gallon of acetone and a bunch of rags and microfiber cloth’s. A spray bottle for the acetone will help too. Be careful of the fumes, but you’ll use a lot for cleaning stuff. Buy boxes of gloves as well.

    Lacquer Thinner is another good way to go, less aggressive than the acetone....

    I used acetone, but Lacquer thinner I think works better.

    Hey Jim,

    Looking over your prime videos and I noticed that It looks like your not using guide coat before you do any sanding?

    If I missed it I apologize, but if your not using a guide coat I strongly suggest that you incorporate it into your paint prep process, especially before you start in on the hood.

    Yes, I use a dry coat with everything when needed.
