Re: Paint????

1 qt = 32oz of paint, 1 1/2 cups of Acetone = 12oz and 2 oz of Hardener.

What Primer did you apply ? erm.. Primer on Primer without sanding .. ( If you have time to post here then you might be out of time to 3 coat primer .. )

Depends on the Primer coat .. again.. What primer did you use ?

Nomally I can coat 3 passes of prime coat..then sand with 320-400 ( Paint prep ) after 24 hrs ..

dunno what your prime coat is and your "window" coats are ..

YD.

PS. I never sand between Prime coats .. its all wet coats for primer and paint .. ( wet coat primer..sand/prep 320-400 then paint ).

Re: Paint????

For a cheap paint job it's tough to beat good 'ol Rustoleum.

I've seen examples of paint jobs done with rustoeum and they are unbelievable! Looks like it came from a professional shop but it was done with a roller and buffed out.

Re: Paint????

Yep you can wet sand the primer about 4 hours after applying. You should be able to put first Finish Coat on this evening. The Rustoleum Primer Flashes pretty quick especially with the acteone thinner.

Again..which primer did you use ? 9 today .. sand a little.. ?? Your going to prime/prep and Paint all in one day ??

Is this like rattle can primer .. or 2 part primer ??

I think its too soon myself..most primers need to gas off before you paint ( unless its in a can stuff ) ..

WOOD why dont you direct me to the Post # where the OP stated he used Rusto Primer !!!!! ( your assuming he did from suggestions posted ) .

I see lots of "suggestions" but never a solid answer of what he got ..

I see that the OP bought paint..then some More Oil based paint after that..

What kind of primer did he use ??

Just was asking to conferm data .. no need to get all " !!! " and stuff..gesh..

YD.

Re: Paint????

I used exactly what I was told to use. Rust-o primer especially for the paint I bought. I do have another question in spots the primer looked like gritty looking on boat I'm sure its the way I was spraying can u tell me what I was doing wrong or do I need to adjust the sprayed?

Re: Paint????

Sounds like you need to clean the gun. The Paint will SET UP in the air outlets in the nozzle and can cause it not to Fan the Paint right. Gotta watch it close. Keep a damp acetone rag on hand and keep wiping the nozzle frequently to keep it clear.
