FL6433 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) I sanded this solid body down to the sealer (I think), applied the first coat of primer and got this mess. Sorry about the clarity, but you can see the runs and splotchy marks. It seems to be coming out of the aerosal can smoothly. Is it just the paint? I should say, I put one coat on then ran out of primer. So i had to buy a different brand and the second coat sucked. So sanded it back down and got this again.

ElysianGuitars Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 looks like the sealer and the primer aren't compatible... either find a compatible primer or sand through the sealer and reseal it with a rattle can sealer or just primer the wood...

FL6433 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) can you give names of the paints eg. make, type etc. The first primer that worked was Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Multi Purpose. The one that didnt' work was Weather Shield Rust Coat Interior/Ext Alkyd paint. Edited April 11, 2007 by FL6433 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biliousfrog Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 why are you using rust coat paint? I'm guessing that the second paint is designed to burn into the rust & metal to create a good bond but all it's doing is burning into the paint underneath. Those paints are designed to protect metal not give a good finish, strip it all off & buy some normal car primer in a can...it's tried & tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FL6433 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I didn't want the wood to rust. The can said it works great on both, and the first can did, but I'll get the car primer regardless. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 it just looks like typical curtaining to me.you need to look into proper spraying procedure,then practice on scrap. it also looks like you may not have cleaned the surface well before spraying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
