ok does the primer always come out like this.. the bondo/fender is like a babys ass..

this wont show threw to the paint will it?. im using a flat blue. iv never painted the last coat before just primer. sorry im still a newbe at this

no more paint



bondo



sanded



primered with sandable

 

how many coats did you spray man? Go at least two - three. Then spray the color at least 2-3 coats thick. Should be good to go. That is an assload of bondo on that fender man! You may run into some cracking problems due to vibration depending on how thick it is caked on there.

 

haha its not much now. it was. the fender was crack/riped. so i had to fix it. (note not just with bondo)

 

One good coat of primer should do. Then you need to top that with sealer before you put down your actual paint. If you have no sealer to put down then slap on another coat of primer to make sure ou have a uniform color and then wet sand that with 1500 or 2k. Then your ready for the paint. If you are useing spray cans you will need to get in a well venilated area, but with absolutely no wind. Not even and angel fart can blow across your work. With the spray bomb you want to go with quite a few light coats called dust coats. Reason is that if your not extremely careful you will get runs rather easily. Very important to remember to clean the surfaces thoroughly. May i suggest you spring for the the "prep-sol" or preperation solvent.***Only use on pieces you are about to your base coat to. DO NOT use on a painted surface be it base or clear.
Remember, follow the contour of the piece you are painting always remaining 6 or more inches away from the surface. It is better to suspend the pieces in the air if possible. Wire coat hangers are great for this. Having them laying down of flat surfaces can create many issues i just can't cover in here.
If you are useing a gun then you should have a pretty decent idea of how to apply paint. That's the easy part. The clear is what can get ya. Just relax, take your time, and have fun. If you mess up its no big deal. Just set in sun to dry, scuff, and spray again.

 

thanxs. yes im using a gun.. im tack ragin everything(before primer, before paint) no clear coat this time

ill have to hit it with another coat of primer

 

Bro, all tack rags do its get the last bit of lint off. It can do nothing for body oils, humidity, and whatever els may land on the surface before you paint it. Go ahead and go for it, but just know that you may be doing it a few times.

 

o... well where can i get this "prep-sol" stuff at?


should a place like autozone have it? or do i have to go back to the paint shop?

 

Yeah, best bet is an auto paint supply store. Can't think of anyone else that would either carry it or know what it was even if they did carry it...i.e. walmart.

 

NAPA should have it. It's called like Tec-Clean or something like that.
