[quote=”ding” post=26291]You’ll be ok with DBC as long as as you didnt use dx57 hardener in in. just get some dbc 500 reduce it about 150% and spray a coat on before clearing. covering it up wont help you.[/quote]
Don’t have 500 or something similar in the house, and ordering it will only take it longer. My only option is to overreduce the clear i normally use.
How far should i go with adding thinner, 25-30%? After a good flash-off i will use unreduced clear for the second layer.Scuffing with a gray pad is by the way no option. The lime green gets slightly more blueish if i do.
[quote=”Ben” post=26287]According to the tech sheet, “If the basecoat color is allowed to dry more than 24 hours, it must be scuffed and new basecoat color applied.”[/quote]
No surprise, but no option. I just wrapped the tank in kitchenfoil which slows down curing (i hope).
What is a safe amount of overreducing the clear? 25% thinner for the first layer of clear? (I use a clear which normally doesn’t have to be reduced according the tech sheet).
[quote=”ding” post=26285]What brand of base and how long has it been? most of the time you can shoot a coat of over reduced clear base coat down and then keep going. but some more specifics would be helpful.[/quote]
The base is PPG Deltron BC.
It’s been painted 2 days ago, but i can’t use the booth for the next 3-4 days so it will be 6 days in total.
It’s a motorcycle tank, maybe is wrapping it in kitchenfoil a good idea to prevent further curing?
I have a small home booth (mostly for motorcycle parts) and this is how i heat it. 🙂
2 gas heaters in front of the air inlet.[img]http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/5658/imageoam.jpg[/img]
Air movement in the booth is 5000m3/h and with these 2 gas heaters (15kw each) i’ll get a good temperature even on the coldest winterday. The gas bottles are inside the booth. When i’m done painting i dismantle the heaters and shove the gas tubes back in the door post.
[quote=”InvictaRefinish” post=25561]Just clearcoat as normal one or two coats whatever the product indicates.[/quote]
That’s exactly what i did. I just shot the clear as i normally do, as if there were no decals, did no “stupid” things. After the first medium wet layer, i got pretty bad runs almost instantly.
Maybe those decals aren’t suitable for under clearcoat?
