i need help. i am having trouble painting my interior pieces. is having TO MUCH paint really that bad?
here is my situation: i used the krylon fusion paint( 2 light coats, then 2-3 med/heavier coats). looked good so i added 3 coats of of clear coat. then went on errands. when i got home the paint had turned all hazy looking. so i thought it was because of the clear coat. so i added 2 light coats of fusion paint. so by now i got like 10 coats on my pieces. just read online that it is normal for clear coat to be hazy and it will disappear as it dries. so i am just wondering if it will be alright if i just add another coat of clear coat. or have i completely screwed up and i need to redo the whole thing again. |

I have learned that its never good to use name brand rattle can clear and name brand color lol i have always ended up with a hazy piece even after it dried. If you use a cheap clear it will turn out fine just spray more coats than u would with high dollar clear. Personally i would sand it down to the color again, and do a few more shots of color then add a cheaper brand clear. Just my opinion though. --------------------  |

I used the krylon fusion and if it wasnt so cold outside (slight orange peel) when I did it I think I would like it more. I used no clear coat and aside from the "peel" effect it looks nice. Although the wife hates it. But if your not happy with the clear why not sand it down and try to do it again?

i used krylon clear coat. and i was thinking that it was because it was cold outside. well im in hawaii so cold is like 70 degrees. anyways what do you mean by peeling. because i love the way it looks(color/texture). but i wanted the glassy look.

Orange peel. Yeah I got super drunk and thought it would be cool to paint my interior. Now this was in late Jan early Feb and it was about 40ish that night (or somewhere around there). I was planning on painting the interior, but not that early. And Im guessing since it was cold outside the paint (when applied) seemed to go on fine, but as I was finishing up the paint started to orange peel (ie small pits). The first piece (center console) didnt turn out too bad actually, but the ones I did after really got f'd up. SO i've been slowly replacing all the parts. Im gonna take the old ones strip/sand and take a stab at carbon fiber (worked w/fiberglass when I fixed boats so it should not be that hard). What I should of done it either wait or use a heat gun. |

 glad i dont have peeling. anyways 12 hrs later and it looks awesome in my car. but if i press hard enough i can leave a finger print indentation. and i can actually massage it a bit and smooth it out. is this normal and will go away as it dries more? or will it always be prone to this on hot days?

Well if u used krylon fusion you dont really need a clear coat. but fusion drys to the touch around 20 minutes, but to handle it u gotta wait about 24 hours. than u wont get those finger prints. but if u added the clear im not sure
