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 ? |

When I had my shop the DuPont rep would pull the same crap. He would always ask: " tell me what you did" So you would run down the scenario including what the manufacturer lists on the product as a recommendation and he would say.... OH! that's where you screwed up, you should have done this..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jerkit.gif)
Anywho, Now that you have the clear on you should be able to re-coat the car. Wet sand it out with 600 grit, clean it up and reshoot the base coat and re-clear. Some paints require a recoat sealer and some paints are sensitive to solvent penetration and will chicken track or craze when the new solvents are applied. Someone familiar with the Omni line may be a able to comment on that. I haven't used it nor do I have any interest in trying it. I would put it out in the sun for a couple days though. Be sure it's dry and hard.. You need to develop a system so you don't miss parts of the car like that. I always start on the right front with the hood, work my way down the fender, across the nose then the left hood, fender, left door, I move on to the rear. Rear lid, (this way your not leaning into the freshest paint you just sprayed) then the targa bar, then the quarter panel, tail panel then the rear lid again, targa bar, then the quarter panel then the right door. door etc. Focus where your applying paint and look for the way it is hitting the panel. Always be aware of where your hose is. Is it getting snagged on the front wheel or jack stand? Are your going to slap it into the side of the car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) This is the counter clock-wise (I'm left handed) method I use if I am painting the car with the door and lids on which in most cases I am not. But you get the idea. Use a system and don't deviate from it. |
