GGoheen Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Alclad black primer can be problematic as you'll find in several of the posts here on ARC. Flat black, however, really wouldn't suffice either. I normally use a blend of gloss black and flat black enamels (MM) to essentially achieve a satin black. (don't ask me why I don't just use this already premixed) When dry, sand down with MicroMesh sand cloth, starting at 4000grit and working to the last which is 12000grit. The finish should have a very high sheen to it and that's usually my cue to apply Alclad II. Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
