I still love early Holdens but here’s where I’m at now, 37 Plymouth ratrod. 307 Holden (Chev) with th400, 9” held in place by 4 link and panhard bar with coil overs.

Etch primer is not the same as a primer or a hibuild and should only be sprayed as a single mainly see through coat. Your primer or hibuild is the stuff that you sand down to fill slight imperfections and provide a flat surface before colour. If your total buildup is too thick (including colour)you ...

If it’s etch primer then it’s really only a tie coat between bare metal and primer/ hi build and only needs a mist coat. If you used a hi build or primer surfacer with an in built etch then a few coats is ok and you should be able to block it out. If it’s an etch primer then 3 coats might be too muc...
