it was about 65-70 degrees. i did it on a warm(er) day

 

thats weird I have seen people just wash peices with soap and water and then dry and then just spray on about 2 coats of the dupli color plastic paint and it last for years with no chips or anything

 

i used the krylon without sanding or anything, just cleaned the pieces and put on a good 10 coats, no problems whatsoever... ill post a pic
it was prolly ~75 deg mildly humid when i did mine, i let each coat dry for a half hour. then waited a day to put it back in the car.

 

The best thing to do is touse what the professionals use, SEM (http://www.sem.ws/).My familybeen in the auto upholstery industry for over 40 years. Trust me all of the vinyl and leather repair/dying guys use SEM products. It is worth spending a little more to make it look right. If you have any questions give me whistle. I will help you out the best that I can.

Thanks

make sure when you spray you spray about a 10-12 inches back so you dont get to much paint in one area. you have to do really really light coats over and over again until you get the right color you want. the lighter the coats the better. let them olmost dry inbetween coats. and apply another. it takes time to do it right. if you rushed the paint that is why it turned out the way it did.

 

Not waiting until it dries can create problems, but if it looks like it has holes everywhere, it sounds like you mixed enamel paint with lacquer, hence why you have a finish that looks like it has holes in it.

 

That happens when you have grease, wax, or oil on the part that you were going to paint. In this case, I'd bet money that at some point you armor all'd the interior parts. That **** is impossible to completely get off. Which is why you have those fish eyes in the paint.

Sand them down again, scrub them with prepsol, and a CLEAN towel. Then primer and paint again.

 

i agree with sidewayz6.0. i had the same problem no degreaser would work. what i did was put very light coats on not really covering the entire piece at one time and in between every coat of paint i would sand with 1000 or 1500 grit sand paper. and this helped for me. for the people that keep saying completely do it over again it doesnt work. i tried 2 times with doing different things each time and it still did it. this is the only way i found it to work. oh... after sanding between each coat of paint which might take about 4-5 times to get it covered well... but after sanding after each coat use a prep solvent to get any oil from your hands and dust off it so you have a nice clean surface.

 

how much would it cost to pay someone to redo it?? or would i be better off buying new pieces from a salvage yard and then repainting them from there??

 

damn you live all the way in georgia. i would redo them but thats kinda far from Maryland about an 11 hour drive. did you put clear coat on them. if not its really simple. just use water and 1000 or 1500 grit sand paper, sand it smooth if you can and spray another thin coat on. when i run across this i usually sand it paint it sand it paint it and it looks good and im picky. it wont take long at all. just think of it as your primer you sand it smooth. but instead of redoing everything or stripping it which could ruin the piece you sand it and the paint will dry in no less than 30min. i would say it takes about an hour or so to fix each piece but if you have a lot it will seem like no time.
