Hey all,
I have a quick question (I hope)
As some of you may know I have been working on a Guitar. First time using Automotive paint.
My screw ups are becoming fewer and when they happen they seem to be getting smaller. (Both good things)
I had a few areas where the paint did not lay perfectly smooth or there were runs so I sanded them back to either the black base coat or to the primer. I had 2 spots that went all FUBAR on me and I don't understand why and was hoping someone with much more knowledge than I could explain to me what happened.
Entire Process:
Sanded off old paint.
Sealed with wood sealer.
Sanded smooth.
Primed with rattle can auto primer. (I know this crappy but it was all I had.)
Sanded smooth.
Black Base coat. (SPI Intercoat mixed with Carbon Jet Black pigment.)
Sanded smooth.
Front - Painted with a metallic blue. (SPI Intercoat mixed with mica and blue pigment.)
Sanded smooth.
Sides and back - Painted with a Darker blue. (SPI Intercoat mixed with mica and blue pigment.)
Sanded smooth.
Front Burst - First Black and then over with the same Dark blue on the back.
Sanded smooth.
So the areas that had issues were ever I sanded down to in the above steps, I would redo from that step down. (If that makes sense)
I am just not sure why the above shyte happened and any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
