OK everyone i finally came around to start painting my car. I decided i would add some piping to my air line compressor and a better air/drying filter. So i went to home depot to buy some pipe and it took me about all morning like 4 hours to finish.. It was around 3 when i decided to start painting. had car ready cleaned and dust free, walls all cover in plastic, weather at perfect maybe 90. I set up my gun, towels, tack cloth, suited up. mask.mixed my sealer.started spraying sealer on. everything going well. when it came down to putting my basecoat, first spray not even done with one side my car paint seemed like it wanted to run,,,,(it looked like that krinkle paint you see on flower pots where you paint first coat then second different, then it starts to look like its cracking. the you see the paint underneath. Thats how it looked, so i decided i keep painting since I had mixed my basecoat why waste...I painted everything. so i went around one more time to cover the spots that where showing through ,, even waited for my recomended flash time spray again. it started sagging at some points,,,, looked so bad that i actually stopped not to make it worst..then i wondered if i mixed right??? I was so mad
...that i emptied my gun ,just threw some laquer thinner in the gun until it ran cleaned then remade a new batch... Same thing happened.. what a waist of paint.. Emptied my gun ran more thinner, turned everything off. went inside.. Frikking mad.Didn't even clean my gun. Then I went throught the whole thing checked my computer to see what could i have done wrong..everything was perfect except i looked at my currenttemperature in my computer it said 75degrees.. i guess it had cool down to where my paint wouldn't flash/dry correct... ..My basemaker was for very high temp 90+..DUMB ASS!! thinking i wouldn't have enough paint.. i had called it a loss..NExt day i went into my garage car didn't seemed that bad . some runs some crakling.. so i said wet sand the bad spots and with the little paint i have left blend in those spots.. i even took the day off from work to try to save my car, since i only had 24 hours if i wanted to recoat without scuffing the whole car for clear coat,(thats what it said on the can it has to dry to a matte finish and should not be sanded).. well anyways i got everything set up AGAIN. spray my spot blended in with paint and had enough to go around the whole car and more .. I got really happy,,,,,,, Started clear coating.......but didn't really liked my finish its not as smooth as my engine bay and other stuff,,, It looked like orange peel in some spots after the clear.. So will have to do some wetsanding and polishing. Started putting car together noticed some small specs of dust.. oh well what can i expect for my first time...LOL.. Going to plish it to see how it turns out.. Sorry about the long story and my repeated words,mispells.. Had to vent a little,,
.. well here are some pictures i took today , dusty but still looks ok..NOw everything looks dirty and really rusty...lol
NOt the best pictures BUT oh well i will post some more later...
