The Saga continues. 3 light coats of primer followed by a slightly heavier coat. 15 minutes apart. All 3 looked great. Though I wasn’t use to seeing the primed bodies looking like they had talcum powder on them rather than how they looked with the primer I used before. That looked like primer on a real car. A little sheen to them. Sprayed multiple light coats of paint waiting 15 minutes between coats. Just like I did with the primer. Mustang looked great. Then I noticed just the hood starting to change. Not good. Ford looked good. I’m thinking a good polish and that would be presentable. The Nova? Horrible. I threw the hood into the PP as I knew that paint had to come off. Well not soon enough as it etched the hood. Not completely. Don’t know if I could sand it and re-prime and re-paint it or not. Might have to beg for a hood if not. The Nova? Maybe a junker for a junk yard. Ugh. -
Finally got my 3 Tamiya polishing compounds after a month wait.

Good idea. I'll remember this.

I had bought this before but had problems. But I’m giving it another go today I thought for sure when you would tell someone Duplicate-Color primer. You were referring to the more expensive one because your work is so beautiful Steve. At least 1 of the 3 came out ok. I’m onto my 4th light coat since 1 p.m. Don’t think the Ford or Nova are going to fair well. Too etched. And also I’m priming a new 66 Mustang fast back. I’ll see what happens. Thanks for the input guys. I’ll post after photos later. -
I know some of get meds in these bottle. I use the taller ones with the cap reversed. The reversed cap make them more stable. Put a few pebbles in the bottom to give them weight. They make great reusable stands to hold what you are painting.

Several light coats about 10 to 15 minutes apart. Spray one. Set it aside. Next one. Next one. Wait. Then second. Wait. The 3rd coat. Then sprayed painted them about 24 hours later the same way. Several light coats. Don’t know why the Mustang looked ok. -
