Hi:
I'm painting my test door for my mini project to get a bit of practice and check out the colour as i'm going base coat x3 is that enough ? , clear coat x2, metallic coat x3 ?, clear coat x2 .... ive bought a few different coloured flakes and pearls just to practice with and see how they look.Im going to checker board the door after its painted and clear coated and spray different flake colouts/effectss in the different squares.
Ive read Phat Katts painting guide and it didnt mention the amount of time between base coat and clear coat , as in how much time can you leave it between coats from minimum to maximum as to promote the best adhesion. I will be going by the manufactures guide as to the time for the specific coat , just not sure when switching from base to the clear min/max time wise
Also do you need to rub back the base coat if your going to clear coat it ?
And probably heaps more questions to come
as im the type of person who needs to be able to do somerthing without ever doing it before lol. " yes its tough being me "
Cheers Bill
