So you are shooting a lacquer based paint in Seattle, huh.....yeah, you're doomed....just kidding..... Okay, so this is called "blushing" and happens as moist air is literally "trapped" in the coating as it dries. It has a lot to do with "dew point" temperatures. A warm, dry, room and not pushing the coating too fast should help. Once you "see" blushing you usually can remove it by doing a light mist of a quality lacquer thinner over the area to "open" the coat back up and let the moisture evaporate. If you don't have a spray gun for the lacquer thinner just pick up one of those Preval style sprayers. Just a very light mist should do it.

i hope ya dont plan on painting the whole car with that.
duplicolor isnt a whole car project paint |
I didn't want to get into that but....he's right you know. Lacquer is pretty old tech. when it comes to auto paints. Our modern environment starts tearing it up from day one. Acid rain, rail dust, smog, etc., makes it temp. coating.......

Thanks so much for the help! Do you have any brands you would recommend that are better quality. I am gonna pick up a devilbliss HVLP gun this week and rent a compressor, so I can do it right. Im sick of the inconsistent sprays from rattle cans...

Get out your wallet and get ready to dig deep..... going from rattle cans to pro style base/clear systems is a big step. Even the "budget" lines of base/clears sure ain't cheap. You can quickly get $1000 plus by the time you set up even for simple repair work. If I was planning from scratch and had nothing to start with I'd figure $3000 for everything (that would include my compressor though). Can't really recommend any one particular brand over another as I don't know what kind of paint jobbers (that's your paint supplier) you might have around you. Best thing to start with is to go up to the Info Center at the top right of the page and read, read, read, before you buy anything......

I have to agree with DarrelK's post above. Read and ask a lot of questions if you are going to jump into spraying cars. Don't buy anything yet. Save your money and take your time. Which Devilbiss gun? Buying a POS Starting Line gun ain't gonna save you any money, but a lot of guys love the upper level Devilbiss guns. What compressor are you going to rent? It probably isn't big enough to do an entire car. These forums and these guys have YEARS of knowledge and are willing to help. Much better than 30 years ago when the only guy you could ask was the meth addict down the street...or a one and a half page article in Car Craft magazine! Did you really paint an entire 2016 car with rattle-bombs? How many cans is that? Sent by the random thoughts from the voices in my head...

I wrote this article to help give a basic understanding of what is involved.

you better have a thick wallet, as that color is probably one of the more expensive you can buy.

jayco, if ya still want to consider it after the previous replies, you may want to chose a different color over the toreador red metallic. i had a taurus with that and its a tri coat, meaning theres a base, then midcoat, then clearcoat. its not a process for first time painters to do and achieve good results.
even after renting a compressor(which youre going to need a pretty big compressor for a full paint- not a 20 or so gallon), ya need air filtrations/moisture removal. hopefully the devilbiss youre looking at is at least the finishline 3. i have a tekna i use for base and clear- mighty nice but also mighty pricey for a one time. take some time and study. look locally for jobbers and what brands of paint they sell. what brands that are better quality depends on what you want the final results to be. how about a few pics of the whole car? i dont know much but a 2 year old car shouldnt have that many problems with the paint on it. what would be the motive to repaint the whole car? |
