... these fiber looking clumps started to form. By time I was done it looked like someone shook a shag rug right by the wet surface! Why did this happen? It was warm out and dry. I held the can about a foot away, maybe a bit more maybe a bit less. Whats up?
I think you are talking about orange peel. It looks like this: Here is a good guid to follow if you are spraying a case that is... guide
whether it's orange peel or dust that's got into it, you'll be needing to colour sand it and (possibly) do another coat. And remember to keep it wet and soapy when colour sanding to avoid taking too much off.
Well,... I have orange peel too. I'll have to take a picture of it. It looks like lint or something fibery caught up in the paint or something. I can see it build up as I am spraying. I am only sparying the primer right now. I will fine sand it off and then spary another coat. Then I'll paint with the actual color.
it's possibly the paint reacting with whatever it is your spraying onto. Has it been primmed?? did that go on smoothley??
if it looks like a crinkled piece of paper on the surface you aren't letting it dry long enough between coats...
This is the primer. It's definately the paint though. Not something caught up in it. I just thing its building up for whatever reason. It doesnt do it all over,... just here and there. But still its alot. I have it figured out though. I'm going to keep spraying and when I get to the end I will fine sand it nice and smooth then paint my last coats. I'll fine sand, wipe and then clear coat. Whe I fine sand it's smooth as hell.
try a differnt brand of primer it may just be something in that brand\type of paint. Also you could try cleaning the surface it could be down to grease or dirt on the surface.
You are probably right This stuff goes on so slow but takes so long to dry! It will take me all day! Argh.
This happened to me more than a few times. I discovered that the causes were I sprayed too much on at one time and the temperature between the paint, the surface, and the ambiant air were too far apart. I hate it when I got a mirror-like surface and the harsh sun comes out from the clouds. In the sunlight, my paint started clumping up and looked like it had veins.
some spray paint have its own use, for glass or acrylic you may use acylic spraypaint. and also spray less, do not spray near on what your trying to spray, you must be in room.
does the orange peel change anything about the paint? like does it flake easier or fade? its a good look depending on what your doing, its sometimes what you want something to look like.
Damn it! It's like friggin sand paper! Thats what the finish feels like. ******** thats what its been like throughout painting! It's like gritty as hell and if you run your hand across it some of it crumbles off! What is this! I dont really care about the finish, truly. I just dont want it to come off later donw the road. Did I mention it's gritty even after the clear coat?
Yo,... it's the primer! How the hell is that! Th epaint and primer is made by the same people! I tried just the paint and a board and slopped it on. It went on nice other then the air bubbles and the dirt that was already on the board. I sprayed some primer on and the paint began to crumble and become gritty. Do you guyz think the paint alone will have problems sticking to bare steel? I dont think it will have a problem with plastic but I'm not to sure about the steel.
Yeah . I guess you aren't letting it dry enough. The same thing happens when putting water on the surface, then spraying it. Another thing... are you sure what you're using is a metal primer? Cause there are plastic primers too.
It's not the primer. I dont know what it is. I think its the UV orange. The black goes on fine. Im just going to use the black.
it sounds more like the different paints aren't compatible with each other and you're getting crazing. (hard to tell without pics though) You can sometimes get around that by using VERY fine coats, so that it takes a bunch of coats to become opaque, but its probably better to get the correct paint.
