Paint problem
I am not an accomplished/ skilled painter, and yesterday's efforts make that pretty clear. I applied two coats of Evercoat Superbuild 4:1 using 55 psi of air in a 30-yr old spray gun. They 'cured' overnight in a 64* garage. Some paint was applied DTM, some over a prior coat of acrylic 4:1 DTM. Instructions were for 2-3 medium wet coats w/ 5-10 minutes of flash time, ready to sand in 2 hrs. I watched a couple of videos by Evercoat, and thought I followed their recommendationsWhen I sand it, the sandpaper loads up seriously as if the paint is not dry. It is worse with a jitterbug or palm sander, but happens even when hand sanding--using 180 grit. In some places I can even scrape the paint off with my fingernail (but not easily). I am pleased with the build, but need to know if I can proceed with just smoothing with a Scotchbrite pad, applying another coat of dark primer, then finishing with my chicle drab.
