Next I let this flash for 20 min and mix up some 2k Urethane primer surfacer. I am using BASF\'s Glasurit 285-10 / 285-20. It is a black and white primer you can mix together to get the shade you want.

Then it get applied, 2 coats on this:

After it dry\'s it gets block sanded with some 320 and then finished in 600 grit paper. My blend area\'s are done using a grey scothpad in conjuction with some RM 851. It gets dried off, taped up and after it\'s done it will look like this:

To get rid of the sand scratches I\'ll apply an orientation coat (BC100) over that area and it will look like this:
