    stay tuned for another episode of "essexboys2003's spraying disasters"

    lol

    take your time, you can do it all in one day, but it will more than likely look dodgy and rushed

    take your time, possibly 2 days, that's what i'm doing.

    d1 morning = primer 3 coats, smoothing between coats
    d1 afternoon = colour 3/4 coats, smoothing with 1200 wet between coats leave to dry over night by a radiator or somehting
    d2 morning = laquer 3/4 coats, leave to dry all day by a radiator

    fit it back on in the morning of day 3 then

    3 coats of primer... upps i only used 1 coat because i thought the primer was only so the paint could stick onto the plastic... ahh well at least its trial and error with me and wen i do them next time they will be quality lol the best ever... just wen and checked on them all and they look really good and am quite please with them now.

    patience is the key here fella

    and the coats can be light and applied every 20-30mins

    don't try to cover all of the piece in one hit as you will end up loading certain areas and then it will run.

    also try laying down a clean sheet on the floor so that no dust is flicked up.

    i have been spraying my wheels on the sierra this week and i have been doing a wheel a night and spending approx 3-4hrs in total per wheel

    but the finished result is good.

    Sounds like you havent keyed the surface you are spraying? Did you give the plastic you sprayed a gentle rub down with sand paper before priming? If not theres your problem! the paint needs something to grip 2!
