The other day I picked up paint to spray my bike with andwe attempted to spray it and it lifted really bad. My friend suggested it was the primer because I used rattle can primer. We know the surface was clean from grease bacause we cleaned the parts thoroughly.
What can I do to prevent this from happening? I was told if I spray some sealer it would stop this. Is this true?
Some other things that were suggested to me:
He was laying the coats on too thick
He used his own reducer (low temp) and not the stuff I bought with my paint (mid-high temp)
well a few things could of happend. one paint will lift if there are containents under neath it. the reducer could of reacted with the rattle can primer.
best thing to do is wet sand that primer with 400 grit. then maybe spray a good primer on top of it then wet sand that with 400 grit. then use wax/grease remover then use aersoal glass/surface cleaner to remove the residue. then go over it with a tack cloth. then seal everything. apply the first base layer thin. then spray another thin layer. then another layer. keep spraying light to normal coats to it is fully coverd. its usually about 3 coats. some colors take more just depends. after that then get your clear ready then shoot that nice even coats. overlapping each pass by 1/4 each time. this will make sure its all uniform. have about 3 coats of clear is enough. you could get away with 2 but it up to you. 3 is better to have to wetsand the inperfections out of it
also its best to use the proper reducer for the type of paint and clear you are using. you can use the fast reducer but it will dry very very quick.
