paint help

[Demon2056]

Hey guys I was out this weekend and started to buy paints to mod my xmod car. Well how to say this the **** hit the fan...Everything went wrong. And I dont know y. I had painted the car blue just as planed. Then I put some tape on it (brofre) on the window. Then after on the blue paint I marked flames on it. Everything went fine I left it outside for a couple days to let it dry. Then after that was done I maked it with sand paper again so the paints would dry right. Then I took the silver. I painted it and walked off(a very light coat). When I came back it had looked like I had put renolds wrap on my car. It looked like some *** hole took freaking aluminum wrap and wraped my car then ran off. As I was yelling and screaming washing the **** off. I went and tried it again. Did the same ****ing thing. After I let it dry for a couple days I finally said forget it. THen i sanded it and threw some black on it. It looks better but still has some rough spots. Can anyone tell me what went wrong?

Thanks!,
Demon

when i had my first xmod... it was acrapline i had the same prob. but what i did diff was i used primer, after i taped off the windows and lights.then i had some extra tape i use when i do custom flames on real cars. marked it off used my main paint let itdry then i removed the tape. then i got my air brusher and air brushed the flames. then i put a fine coat of clearcoat. but i have been painting real street cars for a long time, it just takes patience and practice.i actualy do all the paint on the xmods in my whole area :hail: :firedevi:

when I did my car I wet sanded it first with 1500 grit, sprayed several light coats of primer. Don"t rush it the solovents in the spray can WILL react with the factory finish(Xmods have a thin coat of color and clear)and will cause it to wrinkle.Once you get the primer to lay flat and you have about 2-3 coats, Lightly wet sand the primer and cover with your choice of colorSince I work in a bodyshop I chose to use automotive finish. Check it out in the picture post. I hope this helps and good luck!

the most important ... dont mix paints
and let them dry then they wont smear

don't leve it outside when it rains.

[livestrong350z]

the more humid that it is outside then the longer it takes to dry and probly more bubbles will show

[SwedishRacer]

let it dry inside in a well ventilated room...
