hey guys.
i need some help.
just about 2 weeks ago, i decided to paint my new boot (old one was eff'd to the days)
so heres what i've done soo far but it has turned out pretty ugly, any help would be greatly appreciated
1. Paint strip (i heard from people that i screwed that up already..)
2. sand it down and primer and more sanding down...aka very smooth
3. black paint mixed with general purpose thinners 1:3
4. sand down with wet sand paper 2000grit
5. cut and polish to rejuvenate the black after it has dried (now very nice black)
NOW THE STUFF UP
6. clearcoat. put it on, doesnt seem like its on, not enough gloss, put more on, still not shiny enough but before i could see the change, rained and kiled it
(will sand back down and redo...jst need some advice now)
(all spraying was done in a garage with a compressor except clear (tired and cbf anymore)
any help would b greatly appreciated and if any can help me finish the job would be even better (south west syd, cabra region)
thanks guys
