For best results, I recommend you follow the directions on the paint can. They'll probably tell you to wait at least 24 hours between coats. If you want the paint to look nice in the long term, it is best to let the coats dry and cure before adding more paint. |

DONT RUSH!!!! I have learned too many times. (You'd think I would learn). I know you want to get this together and play, but slow, and steady my friend. You don't wanna wreck it and have to sand it down and start again. |

My cab was still a little tacky after 4 hours. I did the second coat early because I had it out in the driveway and it looked like it was going to rain. Really stupid mistake. That second time around is just a single coat because I had a nicely sanded basecoat to paint over. :hissy: |

Too late. damn it. Went home yesterday ready to sand and primer again and the cab looks like hell the primer was thick in some places thin in others and you can see very clear the roll marks and brush marks. Tried to sand it down a little went through a lot of sand paper due to it pluging the sand paper up sad the hell with and painted it anyway with satin black and just like the base coat you can see the strokes very clear. Damn it .. dont know what to do now? |

Pretty much the same problem I had. Just sand it and repaint it. I just try to keep in mind that the paint isn't going to hide anything. If you can see it, or even feel the imperfections with your hand, you're going to see them in the paint. This is particularly true of black. |
