Gray, …nice work so far, ….so sure, a light coat of primer KNOWING you’re going to work on top of it is totally fine, …..as I’ve mentioned, don’t let the primer lull you into a false sense of completion….instead, block the cured primer to do a reveal,…you can repeat the primer/reveal process as much as you’d like, knowing that whatever layers you’ve built up, must be leveled to to the black base finish that you are working on top of from the start,…….may I copy and edit your work just to point out some ideas/brainstorming points ?…
Now onto your top coat, …if you are planning on water slide decals, then yes, a gloss finish will be your best friend, …then you can do your decal work, and top coat that with your choice of satin, flat, or gloss again clear coats ….SEM does have a rattle can gloss black trim finish too,….available in rattle can form….the SEM product line costs more than cheap rattle cans, but you get what you pay for IMO, ….
so, if it’s ok with you, let’s dive in for a closer look at your repair area…
