Whilst I make an *rse of most things mechanical my painting is usually top notch.. Have done whole cars in the past. Fixed my split bumper and resprayed. It looked perfect for about 2 days. But this morning it looks like below. Would you say its a reaction with the base coat and clear coat?

Moisture by the looks of it. Where did you spray it?

 

[NCC-74656]

Sprayed in my living room. You can do that when you've got no wife. It was ok until I parked it overnight in the rain. Maybe should have wet sanded/ flattened my base coat before putting clear on. Might redo it with different clear coat paint.

It looks like watermarks, is it under the lacquer? It looks like it.

Lol at spraying in your front room! How was your head lol? Good show.

 

[NCC-74656]

yeh its underneath the lacquer .. pissed me right off when i noticed it this morning. I think Ill leave it alone until weather gets warmer and have another go.

 

[Knuckles]

What a shame. It looks to be mint apart from that.

 

[Chrisgti6]

It might dry out, I'd leave it for a while and see how it looks in a few weeks.

I think the title is appropriate.

Why not get it done properly?

Did you spray the whole car in your living room too?

 

[Bluebeard]

It will disappear. Leave the car out in the sun.

Lol pisstakers .. stop giving me hard time. I've been busy fixing it while u lots been laughing at my first effort. Was concentrating this time! Gotta do some stuff your self on older cars. They would wanna spray the whole bumper at body shop for half the value of the car.

Did you spray the whole car in your living room too?

in my garage lol. Triumph GT6 Mk2. Can't find my finished pictures. Dug this one out half way through

 

[Chowny]

did you do it with cans? The triumph with spray guns I take it?

 

[NCC-74656]

did the clio with can.

Did the triumph with a roller as experiment. but that goes on too lumpy meaning wet sanding inbetween coats and leaving such a thin layer each time I would have to repeat 5 or 6 times so gave up and did final top 2 coats with proper air gun and compressor.

With a roller that damages my eyes being a spray painter

 

[Crybert]

Lol at spraying in the living room! I had a headache spraying calipers on a windy day on the driveway!

 

[NCC-74656]

think paint all waterbased nowadays. not so bad for your snostrells as the old stuff.
