Painting Troble

[newfan123]

Hi, I’m in the middle of a mod... this will be the first mod i have done, and also the first time painting.

I’ve looked at a few guides and followed them the best i can.

The problem is that I primed the case and all went well, very well for that matter.

Anyways on with the painting i followed the instructions on the back and spray lightly every 10-15 minutes layers of paint.

I used some satin black (210) hycoat stuff (both primer and spray).

Anyways, it's come out rather blotchy on the case metal, although the plastic front of the case has come out ok, will prolly clear coat that tomorrow.

All the pics are taken while the paint is still semi wet (please note though, it was fully dry yesterday... and still blotchy and that was left for 15 hours to harden. although it say 24 hours on the can).

See the lighter parts of the paint? That’s the bit I’m on about...







Will i have to re-prime it? or sand it and start over again?

i really want that kind of bumpy effect still left on there though. i don’t think I’ll be able to get that sweet mirror effect with rubbing compound.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Liam

so with that rubbing compound stuff... do you just go rite onto the paint?








so, do you think this is fixable?
