If you have a concrete driveway you can spray early in the morning and avoid some contaminants and bugs. Spray the area down well with water hose, then roll the car on the wet surface and shoot the paint. After it's done roll it back in the garage to dry. If you have a rollup door be sure not to roll it down and cause junk to fall on the wet paint!

 

yeah bro i know what u mean i have had insomnia really bad lately never got to sleep until 8am this morning,i think mostly from being so upset about that paint job,so i never got up until1pm,i did go out and wet sand my entire shell today with 800 grit and smoothed out the runs,i just might try to paint it outside like u said,im gonna give it one more shot,probably should have just went with the hugger orange like originally planned would have been much easier to spray than this metallic paint,sure wish i could have rented the booth i always use,lot more dificult in the garage,hahahaha.

 

yeah val i have a big concrete driveway i might just give that a shot,early morning would be perfect for me,tomarrow i have all day to paint it,gonna give it another shot.its all wet sanded back down with 800 grit and ready to paint again.what u think i should try,maybe two light coats on top of this.

 

got it fixed i think,i will never use a single stage metallic paint again,lesson learned ,pay the big money and buy a good paint.not sure if im gonna clearcoat it or not,we will see how it looks once its dry.

Looks more even, but doesn't seem to have a lot of gloss to it. I'd have expected single stage to be much higher gloss.

 

yeah i was thinking the same thing,thts what i hate about paint thats all premixed,hope it has more gloss once it dries if not im gonna have to clearcoat it.

 

i might even give it one last coat in the morning depending on how it looks once its dry,i have an 18 hour recoat window.maybe if i give it a good wet coat it will help with the gloss.it states on the can that clearcoating is highly recomended so maybe thats what i better do.

 

Sorry that its giving you trouble. It dose look alot better tho. If you have a chance, could you give us a shot of the hole car please?

 

as soon as i can get my tranny in to hold the engine,i can maybe wheel it outside to get a picture of the whole car,my garage isonly 10 feet wide so right now i cant get a picture of the entire car.thx oldman9 i appreciate it.

 

I would be careful of a heavy wet coat. The heavy metallic will run in a heartbeat. Plus it could tiger stripe on you.
