stripey laquer?

[weazgti]

ok thanks. I redid base coat but same again with the laquer, figured like you say its was reacting so i flatted off and primed only to have it showing through the primer. At this point i got p#ssed off having done it about 5 times so i left it then took it back to bare metal a few days later. I ve got primer on and so far it looks ok.
The stripes were like dark lines before.

I would say the stripes are where the basecoat isn't flowing out due to being from an aerosol and its getting more mettalic in some places. The fan on a can is very narrow so try to do lighter coats but overlap your passes more... 75% overlap or similar. As thom said, its asking a lot from an aerosol, once you get the basecoat sorted do plenty of coats of clear so you have lots to play with when you flat it back.

Ah just realised something. The paint i got mixed at the paint suppliers wasnt the same as normal. It was thin spray much like a halfords can whereas normally they really blast out and cover nicely.
Your mention of the overlap just made me realise that.
Could i have got a can not pressurised enough or wrong spray nozzle on it? It did spit  on a few times.
Wouldnt tackle something as big as a rear quarter with a wanky halfords can  but the paint from this supplier is normally brilliant with great results.
I sprayed bumpers ont his car with a previous can from them with loads of laquer coats on to cut back and they look spot on.
