hi, it sounds like you might have applied some very heavy primer or spray putty, under the paint which can cause pin holes .its usually caused by applying too many coats of spray putty or under coat far too quickly.
you should really allow the primer or spray putty to flash of between coats. mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 8:07 PM Subject: Re: acrylic > yep acrylic laquer....ive done 3 so far, and its covered up the primer, but > i had a little go at buffing a small part just to see how it will come up, > and i dont think 3 is near enuff, because these little pin hole sized dots > come up, and the primer shows through...is that typical of not enuff coats > of paint...or is it because i have only left a few hours drying time??? > i am also thinking the dots come up because of where a chunk of dust is on > the paint, and when i start to buff, its ripping that chunk out and taking > that small spot right back to the primer....but then that gets me thinking > that i jsut havent left it long enough??? i got a bit excited :) > > thanx a heap for your response > ben > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tony Bryant" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 8:08 PM > Subject: Re: acrylic > > > > On Tue, 10 Sep 2002 21:26, you wrote: > > > someone give me a number of how many top coats or acrylic i should be > > > doing?? > > > > If you are talking about acrylic laquer (i.e. as opposed to acrylic > enamel), > > then you'll need at at least 5 coats to just stop the primer showing > through, > > and any extra above that you can put on are good - especially on sharp > edges > > - since you'll be buffing quite alot of paint off when you polish it. > > > > > > > > > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
