I don't use sealer Doug. Epoxy primer only. Transtar brand. Had it left over from another project. When it's gone I'll try the HoK epoxy next time and consider a sealer as well.
When spraying the color today I could see the white show through from the overspray on the head tube compared to the rest of the frame. I suppose if the frame was all white it wouldn't have been an issue but it was. Used one more coat of base on those areas and the color uniformity seems okay now.
