Default Re: New paint problem

I’m wondering what the timeframe was between primer applications and topcoat application. When you say two coats of the Evercoat primer, were the fenders block sanded smooth after that? You’ll always get a better finish with better gloss holdout by using a catalyzed primer, letting it cure, block sanding, then going right to your topcoat without any sealer. That is as long as there are no burn throughs in the primer. The non-catalyzed Duplicolor primer would certainly act up if you applied it as a “wet-on-wet” sealer without curing before topcoat application. I’d sand them down to the Evercoat primer, reapply more high build primer then block sand it and put the urethane right over that.
