FORTIVO Dry Guide Coat Powder for Auto Body Sanding, 200 g Black — Ultra-Fine, Wet & Dry Use

FORTIVO Dry Guide Coat Powder is an ultra-fine black powder that reveals scratches, pinholes and low spots quickly so you can sand and correct imperfections before primer or paint.

When preparing panels for primer, sealer or topcoat, spotting every defect early saves time and prevents costly rework. This 200 g dry guide coat from FORTIVO applies instantly, requires no drying or masking, and works with both wet and dry sanding methods. Its fine particle size lays down an even contrast layer that highlights problem areas without gumming up sandpaper, helping you achieve a smoother, more consistent finish on metal, filler, and OEM surfaces.

How does this guide coat help me find imperfections faster?

FORTIVO’s black powder provides high-contrast coverage over light-colored or primed panels, making tiny low spots, ridges and pinholes visible as you sand. Because it’s dry, you can immediately sand over the powder and see real-time results rather than waiting for a liquid to dry or evaporate.

• Ultra-fine particles create an even, visible layer on panels.
• Highlights subtle defects that are hard to see with the naked eye.
• Instant sanding feedback lets you correct errors immediately.
• Works on primer, filler, and OEM finishes for consistent inspection.

Can I use it for both wet and dry sanding?

Yes — FORTIVO Dry Guide Coat Powder is formulated to perform with either technique. It resists dissolving when used for wet sanding yet brushes away cleanly, and it leaves a crisp contrast layer for dry sanding without loading abrasives.

• Compatible with wet sanding—particles stay visible while water is present.
• Does not clog sandpaper quickly, preserving abrasive life.
• Brushes off easily after inspection, simplifying cleanup.
• Maintains visibility on both coarse and fine grits for progressive sanding.

Is the powder easy and safe to apply during routine bodywork?

Application is simple: sprinkle or dust a light layer over the area to inspect, then sand as usual. The package includes nitrile gloves for cleaner handling; standard precautions like a respirator and eye protection are recommended during sanding.

• Package quantity (200 g) provides many inspections without frequent resupply.
• Dry consistency eliminates waiting for solvents to flash off.
• Comes with nitrile gloves to reduce skin contact and improve grip.
• Minimal residue—brushes and vacuums away after use.

Will this product affect final paint adhesion or finish?

When used as directed, FORTIVO’s guide coat is a temporary inspection aid and does not replace proper cleaning before primer or paint. Remove any residual powder by wiping, vacuuming or blowing the surface clean, then proceed with standard surface prep to ensure optimal adhesion.

• Designed to be a non-penetrating, removable inspection layer.
• Leaves no sticky film that would interfere with primer or paint.
• Easily removed with tack cloth, compressed air, or solvent wipe down.
• Use final cleaning steps per paint manufacturer recommendations before coating.

Who is this for? FORTIVO Dry Guide Coat Powder is aimed at professional body shops, collision repair technicians, custom painters and serious DIYers who want a reliable, fast way to inspect and perfect panel surfaces before priming or painting. If you spend time smoothing filler, feathering edges, or dialing in panel uniformity, this guide coat makes imperfections obvious so you can deliver cleaner, repeatable results with fewer sanding passes.
