I want to understand the downsides of the amplitude on the surface being too rough and the relationship between surface roughness and the degree of cleanness (Sa2, Sa2.5,... SA3).

From what I know, the peaks of metal will be exposed through the primary coat, but what if we thikens the primary a little bit to manage that. Because from what I have seen before it's hard to obtain a degree of cleeness of SA 2.5 for exemple in the roughness range required (40 to 75 um).


Thank you in advance.
 
You should be careful to not confuse "clean" with "rough;" they are not synonymous. "Clean" means free of contaminants, while "rough" denotes the degree of smoothness of a surface.

If you can't get SP-10 with 1.5 - 3.0 mil profile, you are using the wrong size/type blast media.
