Travis T Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Does primer count as painting something? Some of it gets to come right back off, apparently I am out of practice with bodywork and painting.
gatorincebu Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Travis, As far I know Primer is considered paint ! :-)) And yes it is a step forward . Even though you may repeat the process a couple of times. Be Well Gator
Travis T Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Nothing sandpaper and some filler won't fix as of yet. I am a little nervous of the primer, I used it once before and it flaked off pretty easily. I cleaned this truck much better though. It is amazing what all you find wrong once something is in primer.
gino Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) looks good travis ! I agree with the primmer, It shows all the spots that got missed ! Edited March 14, 2016 by gino can't spell today
Tesla Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 That's why primer is an important step. It locates all areas that need a little TLC
Canso65 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 It's definitely is forward progress spraying the primer and it sure does show the bad spots. It's all a part of the process to getting that nice shiny paint job.Looking good Dennis.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Looking good Travis! Yes, primer does count as paint. I had a couple of cars over the years that never made it past the primer stage. Speaking of removing what you put on, I used almost a whole can on the hood of my Diamond Reo. A little advise; Duplicolor paint and primer, as well as many others will continue to shrink as they cure which will continue to reveal places that need attention. If you sand too soon, before complete curing, an area that looks flawless, may not look that way in a week after shrinking. Don't ask how I know that. L.O.L.
Travis T Posted March 29, 2016 Author Posted March 29, 2016 Withdrawing this entry from the contest. It's just not going like I want it to and I don't want the pressure of even an October deadline.
