Ive been seeing guys spraying ADPRO to to parts that sit open for a week or so after airbrushing. Does this help at all?
Your not wrong!! Most companies say for example after 16 or 48 hours sand and re-coat BUT, Barry Not really a situation I encounter so I'm trying to understand exactly. I feel like I know why but perhaps you or Jim can verify. So re-coat is unlimited if it does not leave the booth, but if it does is the issue the contamination that would get on the basecoat
by it being outside of the clean environment? If that is the case what about going back over it with W&G like 700? Yes, no maybe? With what you said being the case it would seem like to me if you had to pull something out of the booth putting a coat of intercoat on it before pulling it out would be helpful. Yes, no?? Download Article Download Article When you spray paint your car yourself, you first apply a primer, then a base coat, and then a clear coat, but it can be difficult to get these coats to look even because the paint has a tendency to run. Thankfully, with some patience and the right tools, you can get that perfect glossy finish and save thousands of dollars on a professional paint job. You’ll need to devote several days to the process and make sure to follow safety guidelines.

Wet sand all of the paint with 1000-1500 grit sandpaper, and rinse and dry the car before taping off the windows and other fixtures you don't want to paint. Then, use a sprayer to apply 2 coats of primer to the car and wet sand with 2000 grit sandpaper. Apply 2 coats of the base coat, and then wait for the paint to dry completely before sealing with 2 coats of clear coat. For tips on fixing mistakes and buffing the paint, scroll down!

Did this article help you?How long can I leave basecoat before clear?Allow 30 minutes after base coat color has been applied to apply the clear coat. Apply 4-5 wet (but not dripping) coats waiting 10+ minutes in between coats. Each coat should be dry to the touch (not tacky) before moving on to the next.
Should I sand between basecoat and clearcoat?If you have to sand the basecoat at any step it must be recoated with another layer of color before moving on to the clearcoat step. Sanding between layers of clearcoat is also not recommended. Wet sanding and polishing the final layer will yield a better result than doing it between each coat.
How long should you wait between automotive paint coats?For most types of car paint, you should wait about 15 to 20 minutes between coats. If you are applying a primer, you should wait about 24 hours before applying a base coat or enamel based paint. Also, between primer and paint applications, you should wet sand the vehicle with a 1000 - 1200 grit piece of sandpaper.
How many coats of base coat should I apply?You should always apply one coat of base coat, two coats of polish, and two coats of top coat for an optimal manicure. The key to a salon-like mani is covering your nail in three strokes - any more tends to result in streaky, clumpy nails.
