Candy Painting Question

[djdemon]

I have Testors Gloss Metallic Silver Enamel & Testors Closs Custom Red Enamel. Sprayed the basecoat just fine no issues. Then I let the base coat dry for about 2 hours. I start spraying the Custom Red color and the silver is acting like it does not want to take it. There is red on the top coat but there is a bunch of spots where the paint did not go. So I sprayed a very heavy coat and it appears fine for a few minutes. I get done spraying all of the parts I want red and not most of the bigger parts have bubbled up and is just plain nasty looking. Im assuming they are compatible because they are the same brand and both enamel. Ive been orking on models for about 15 years and I have never seen this. Any body know what causes this or what I did wrong?

Thanks

The silver needs to flash out first ! If you want a quick drying silver base , use Testors aluminum metallizer . It drys in about 30 seconds . A candy color needs numerous mist coats to gradually build up and give you the coverage and color you are looking for . Patience is the key here !
