I'm priming the hood of my red wheeled coupe I'm having some problems!
1} I primed it the first time and when it dried, there were a lot of small Pimples/blisters in the paint. Are these water droplets from the compressor? Thinking maybe they were, I drained the line and tank for the second coat and they were gone.
2] I gave it a second coat yesterday and it came out rough. Instead of the paint being flat and smoothe, it was course and almost granular. I'm thinking that it was due to a setting on the gun. The paint was not atomizing properly, More thinner? Too much pressure? I'm too new to painting to be sure of anything.
The paint I'm using is PPG Shop line, JR 375, if that means anything!
