Painted on the first coat, left for ages so sanded down in order to provide a suitable key then applied a second coat yesterday.
If I had done my homework properly I would have known to apply the top coat of ChassisCoat Black, 'when first coat is dry but with slight finger-drag remaining, usually 4-5 hours'.
So now apparently I need to, 'use POR-15 Tie-Coat Primer directly on the cured POR-15 surface, then topcoat as desired' or use their self-etch primer stuff that is good to top-coat in 30mins.
According to their laboratory test results, 'Recoatability is excellent. Laboratory tests have shown very good adhesion when applied up to 14 days after application of the first coat. In an actual Field test, a topcoat was applied 6 weeks after the first coat had been applied, and the intercoat adhesion was excellent as determined by a crosshatch tape test'.............
SO, has anyone been in the same situation and what do we think is the best idea?
Either prime with the self-etch primer then top-coat or just give it a rub over with thinners of the correct type and slap the top-coat on.
I'm a tad mift as I had everything set up yesterday and even had a friend there to help. Now it's looking like I must purchase more products and will undoubtedly be painting on me lonesome again
