Dunkive Guide Coat Powder is an ultra-fine black dry powder that highlights scratches, pinholes and low spots so you can sand and refine automotive surfaces faster and more accurately.
Prepare painted panels and primed substrates with a simple, no-dry-time guide coat designed for both wet and dry sanding. This 5.3 oz (150 g) kit includes a resealable bottle, a clear protective lid and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep the powder clean and contained. The fine black particles spread evenly across surfaces to create high-contrast feedback that reveals imperfections that are easy to miss by eye alone.
The black powder creates contrast against primer, filler or paint, so raised or low areas become immediately visible while you sand. Rather than relying on reflections alone, the guide coat stays in the low spots and wipes off high areas, showing where more material or more sanding is needed.
Yes — the formula works effectively in either wet or dry sanding workflows. Apply the dry powder, sand as usual; when wet sanding, the powder remains visible long enough to inspect progress and rinse away without leaving residue.
The ultra-fine particle size helps spread the coat evenly and reduces abrasive clogging, keeping sanding surfaces cleaner and extending abrasive life. There’s no drying step — apply, sand, and repeat — which streamlines prep work and reduces downtime in busy shops or DIY projects.
A single 5.3 oz (150 g) bottle delivers multiple uses depending on panel size and frequency of inspection. Light, even dustings are enough for most panels; heavier application can be targeted to problem areas for more contrast.
Who is this for: Dunkive Guide Coat Powder suits professional auto body technicians, detailers, and DIY enthusiasts who want a quick, reliable way to reveal surface defects during paint preparation and refinishing. Use it when priming, filling, or fine-sanding to speed inspection, reduce rework, and achieve a smoother final finish without extra waiting time.
Q: Do I need to wait after applying the Dunkive guide coat before sanding?
A: No — the dry powder requires no drying time; sand immediately after applying.
Q: Will the black powder stain paint or primer?
A: No — the ultra-fine powder rinses off cleanly after wet sanding and wipes away during dry sanding.
