I've begun painting my car, panel-by-panel, starting with the trunk lid.
I'm using Interlux Bridghtsides paint. Yes, I'm rolling it on, mostly because I don't have a large compressor and because I am hoping to avoid all the mess of spraying in my garage. I spent a few days patching holes (luggage rack once upon a time I think), and spent a few days putting on a few coats of primer. Sanding the primer was no problem, and I've now started with the color. Problem is, when I try to sand the paint, it sticks to the paper. There's no dust created, the paper just gets clogged right away. It's as if the paint's not dry. The can says leave it at least 16 hours, I've left it 28, and it's not cold in California. Anyone know what's going on? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) --Steve Here's before primer  After Primer  Sanding Block after trying to color sand  |
