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 ? |

Red is a thin pigment as well and sometimes requires more coats if your third basecoat isn't laid on thick enough. I learned this with my Mustang, and the hard way as red is one of the most expensive colors.
With a single stage, you could potentially recoat within 24 hours of the last coat. I'd wait for the expert opinions (Scott, Rick, etc), but with with two stage, you'll want to sand down and re-prep everything. However, you need to give the solvents time to flash off, which can be anywhere from a couple days to a month, depending on how thick the coats were and the type of paint. It may be imperceptible to the touch, but it takes time for paint to fully harden. I've heard the old enamels took months to fully harden. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I would wait at least a week if you want to do it right. Progressively block to 600 like you probably did before, primer, block to 600, clean, prep and re-shoot. |
