[QUOTE="pollyp, post: 793914, member: 4527"] I wasn't happy with the massively orange peeled doors and the badly crackled primer on the rear 1/4 so initially I tried sanding down the orange peel, hoping to polish it flat, but instead it exposed more & more spots of white primer. it was simply too rough when luke sprayed it from his compressor ? so that was basically a wasted £200 paint job ?♂️ and now I decided to sand it ALL flat including the dimples & dents etc and respray it myself this time with another £200 of cans [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210623_203507.jpg"]75208[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210623_205820.jpg"]75209[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210624_194220.jpg"]75210[/ATTACH] wiped with brake cleaner and tested some halfords grey primer on the edges...only to watch it fecking crack apart just like the white etch primer! arghhhh I was soo angry frustrated, why is it doing this! :mad: oddly it only cracks where I've previously sprayed the white etch primer ? so after speaking to a paint friend it seems I sprayed too much on the 1st pass (making it skin, shrink & tear whilst the inside layer was still curing) and the white high build etching plastic primer is mainly for bare metal and could be reacting with fresh paint on top. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210624_225051.jpg"]75211[/ATTACH] to eliminate that reaction, I spent hours sanding ALL of that horrible etch primer off the rear 1/4 till I expose the factory base coat [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210625_221542.jpg"]75213[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210625_221602.jpg"]75214[/ATTACH] but from all that sanding I ended up sanding some of my fingers till it bled ?? oopsy that's gonna sting tomorrow ?
