Default SEM Guide Coat

If anyone recommends you using the SEM guide Coat take your pistol out and place the muzzle squarely between their eyes and pull the trigger....they are not your friend......

Wondering the same thing. I use it EVERY day. And if I run out I just grab something, anything(etching primer, trim black, whatever) aerosol nearby and mist it on. How can you possible go wrong? By the way, if you are looking for a good aerosol guide coat, I recommend SEM Guide Coat...

SEM products are great and if your not guide coating your panels when you block them you might as well sand them with a 2x4. The only time ive seen anyone have problems with the guide coat is when they spray it on their panels before the primer is completely dried which causes it to impregnate into the primer. Also SEM Trim Black is amazing makes faded plastic trim on cars look brand new. Not sure how long it lasts but looks great when it leaves the shop.

+1 again on the trim black. Last night I painted all the faded trim on my brothers 3000GT VR4, with a few coats from a rattle can. Wanna guess what the shaker on my hood is painted with? So I still want to know what went so wrong with you and SEM guide coat, OP.
