The extra step I now do with white epoxy primer makes me more comfortable that I have a really good surface before I spray finish. I put disclosure coat on and wet sand with 400. I find that, for me, it avoids unhappy surprises. It does add more time for sure.
I sand the paint out with 1500, then 3000, then buff. I sand on the 3rd day, or later. JJ's methods are quite a bit faster.
Not sure what Andy and Heinz are doing.

Would someone share what is the PPG Concept paint color code refinishing shops use. I assume there is no ASW-24 or Discus white! Thank you

Heinz told me he uses PPG Concept 91370 Renault Blanc San Carlo. "Matches Simtec 2481 perfectly".
On my '29 I used pure white base with no other tinting. I know I can match that.

Pure white (aka mixing white) PPG, DMC 900 $434.25/gal if you please!.........Genesis-2 is the only manufacturer that I've seen who specified a Toyota color.

How big an area do you need to paint? As opposed to going through
all of the pain and expense of the 2 part epoxy gel-coats and paints,
I have opted to use Duplicolor Auto Lacquer spray bombs to paint small
touch up areas. The color that I have found best matches the older
Schwabelack on our Twin Astirs is Ford Performance White at about $8
per spray can. I use some primer first, and then 4-6 thin coats of the
lacquer, making sure it is tack dry in between coats to avoid runs.
Once the last coat is dry, I'll wet sand with 600-800-1000-1500-2000
and then buff to a high gloss. It may not be an absolute perfect
match, but it is pretty quick and easy, and I have found that the color
matches pretty darn closely..... I can totally re-do small areas from
start to finish in just a few hours.

When it comes to PU, I give the paint some time. like 2-3 days. i find that if you try and sand the day after painting, it's too soft. then i cut the orange peel with 800 using diagonal strokes. after that it's spanwise sanding with a soft finishing block in 800, 1000, and 1500, then buff. i find that buffing usually needs to wait at least a week after paint application, otherwise you get crescent shaped streaks in the finish, from the polishing wheel gouging the paint.

Uncle Hank, will you share the brand and product number for the epoxy primer you use?
Thank you

The epoxy primer I use is made by Transtar. I'm travelling and don't have the numbers. It is available in white, buff, gray, and black. I use white. It looks pretty damn nice even before I spray color.

That is the polyester surface filler. This is followed by epoxy primer when painting with AU,
