I sprayed a 2 stage paint for the first time. I primed with a 2 k primer cut with thinner, waited an hour spray the base coat, 3 coats then clear coat.
I am not sure If i miss some spots or if it is a reaction, for some reason, I can see the primer under the paint. It's hard to see but can be seen with enough lighting. It can be see in a few areas. What did I do wrong and how do I correct this ? |

I don't have near the experience as the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Scottys, Ricks or others, as I have always done auto body and paint as a hobby, but it sounds like you used a mis-matched primer or used a very light base coat for the job. For example, yellows and oranges take many, MANY more coats to get the depth that darker colors do. What color did you spray would be my first question, assuming that you don't notice any major flaws across the whole panel. Sometimes you just need more paint. |
