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 ? |

Paul,
At this point I think your best bet is to wet sand it to 600 grit (your just looking to take any orange peal off and all the shiny off, you do not need to go down to the base, This should be blocked like the final primer). If you have enough material left do the whole car, If not do each panel effected (Mind that slight slight color difference might be noticeable to a trained eye). If you do this in a couple of days the paint will be softer and easier to sand, then give the car a week to cure you will have a solid "base" to restart. A final once over with a scuffing pad prior to paint and a nice cleaning and your good to hit it again with 3 coats. Show us a close up pic of what you got now any any spraying defects you noticed and we'll make any suggestions we can to help this next one lay down better. |
