3M 05860 Guide Coat Cartridge Review

I used this to get near perfect straightness on a badly damaged door. I can't find a good substitute for one. It was damaged two years ago. Uses stud welding, slide hammer, welding and bondo with this material. Now it looks perfect.

Why didn't I try this sooner? I probably sold it because of the price. Instead, I kept buying an aerosol can. In retrospect it was stupid. It lasts much longer than a spray for the same money. That's a great thing. I will never go back to the lead coating.

When you want the best finish consistency and perfect blending, you need to use your hand to feel and your eyes to light with an angle see to edit controls. Senior management helps you find those lows and highs. Yes you can use a lightly sprayed can of black primer to get a guide coat but in my opinion it is much easier to use, goes further and maintains the expected 3M quality.
