Re: Wait time between primer and paint ?

[twostroke]

Coming from an Olde Painter…ANY good urethane, especially bc/cc, has a "window" of being "green" and ok to recoat. Don’t fudge the mfgr’s suggested recoat times one bit….if anything, try not to even get close to their limits. Makes an absolute world of difference in adhesion and finish durability. Back when I owned parts stores and sold and mixed paint, I usta’ remind customers that "the guy that wrote the the instructions knows more than we do…"

Chris_P is right. Cheap paints are their own reward. Unless you’re just gonna’ look at it from a distance….buy the best bc/cc urethanes you can. Clearcoats especially….go into a parts store/auto paint store and pick up a quart of cheap clear….and a quart of the most expensive stuff they’ve got. Note weight difference. You get what you pay for.

ALWAYS wear a good mask, or fresh air equipment….then you won’t huff and puff like me.

Sermon over.

I say "pardon me" a lot. I had a 20H, then raced open mod sleds.
