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 ? |

Your paint supplier is an absolute idiot. Like Mark said, Omni is the bottom of the barrel paint. I wouldn't put it on my trailer. It took me about 2 hours to spray 3 coats. I was afraid that it would be too hard for the cler and moved on. Don't worry about the base being too hard, it isn't an issue. Take your time, look the whole car over with a good light before clearing. 5-10 mintues between base coats if normal. I usually clean my gun, mix the clear and lay it on. That eats up a good 20 minutes, which is plenty of time for the base to flash off. I think a step was left out, the sealer coat after the primer. You can also have the primer tinted towards the base coat color Most sealers are nothing more than reduced primer. In fact the Spies and PPG primers I use are mixed whole as a primer, and reduced to be the sealer. IMHO tinting primer is a waste of time and materials. If you use a neutral grey primer/sealer, you can clearly see your first coat of color, how heavy it is, how your spray pattern is etc. |
