wheee! Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share #2813 Posted October 22, 2019 Better fan pattern and air control. Plus I laid it down a lot thicker than the last time and still had no runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thicker is good as long as your catalyst isn't too slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share #2815 Posted October 22, 2019 Found a run I didn’t see last night. It’s in the green so, oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just laid a thicker pass than the last time I sprayed clear. Especially the final coat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share #2817 Posted October 22, 2019 Did the inside edges of the drivers side fender tonight. Took three hours to sand, mask, clean and paint/clear just those edges... slow process. But I think it came out very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namerow Posted October 22, 2019 Share #2818 Posted October 22, 2019 Is that a catalyzed paint (i.e. hardener mixed in)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share #2819 Posted October 22, 2019 Oh my... So happy with the finish! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share #2820 Posted October 22, 2019 Is that a catalyzed paint (i.e. hardener mixed in)? Water based. Once it air dries it is done. Not sure if there is any form of catalyst as there is no odour at all. Only use a mask for particles as there is no organic vapour risk. The paint comes pre-mixed and requires nothing other than spraying. Then a regular catalyzed clear coat on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
