it has come up perfect

but now ive started on the doors still the same problem im putting 7 coats of paint on it and you can still see the primmer under it if i shine a l.e.d light on it, it just wont cover..

i asked for 2 pack not water base but !!!!!

it takes around 25 mins for first coat to dry

if i do the mix of 50 50 like thay say it looks like piss and is so thin its like water with blue dye in it

i left the paint on the doors for 6 days and when i rub the basecoat down its getting lumps of paint on the sand paper and it feels like there is dust on the panel like sanding grit, it also seems to be rubbing back down to the primmer very quick after putting 8 coats on

any idea ?????

have thay given me water base paint its immpossible to spray it and has wasted 4 weeks of time and money
as already said mate you could use a dark blue first, but when i paint mg trophy blue at work i always use a black base coat first and then put the blue on mate same as when i paint any blue like this colour and what base coat are you using mate ? as some are a 50:50 mix and some are 2:1 mix
