Coatings
Dry guide coat is an essential surface preparation tool used in automotive body repair and refinishing to reveal high spots, low spots, scratches, pinholes, and surface imperfections during sanding. Applied lightly over primer, filler, or bare substrate, guide coat provides visual contrast that helps technicians sand more accurately and achieve a perfectly flat, uniform surface before paint or clearcoat.
Unlike traditional spray guide coats, dry guide coat applies cleanly without solvents, overspray, or mess, and removes easily with standard sanding techniques. It won’t clog sandpaper, stain surfaces, or interfere with subsequent coatings, making it a faster and more efficient solution for professional body shops and refinishers.
Ideal for use with body filler shaping, primer leveling, block sanding, and final surface refinement, dry guide coat improves finish quality, reduces rework, and ensures smoother, more consistent results across panels and contours.
