Possible to use oil based primer over oil paint?
(1/2) > >>

Last weekend I began the first coat of Rustoleom black satin and in general I am not happy with the results. I am trying to achive a slight texture however,  I over sanded the primer in some spots (too smooth). The results are 70% of the cab looks great with a slight texture but, has blotches of mirror smooth here and there.  :(

Is it possible to apply another coat of oil Kilz primer over the 1st coat (after a light sanding) or will I need to sand off the 1st coat of Rustoleom entirely?

I am not an expert, but  would think applying more primer after sanding would be just fine.  The sanding part would be important though.

I had to do this on my Ms. Pacman as I did not take the advice to prime first. I used exactly that, rustolium Satin black. I sanded it then used the rustolium grey primer, sanded, primer, sanded, then did the satin black again. It looked great and so far I have seen no issues.

I stuck with the same brand through the whole thing. I don't think that it mattered as long as it was oil, but did not know for sure. So, they also got my business when I started my MAME cab.

Thanks guys... I'm begining to think it might be possible to just take the roller and apply another coat of primer to just the spots that are too smooth. I could then sand them down by hand to match the texture of the rest of the cab. Might be easier? Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on doing something like this?

Talked to my Dad and he is going to come over Saturday with his paint sprayer. I'm just not satisfied with the rollers. Everytime I put a coat on I almost end up sanding it right back down to the dang primer. As hard as I try I just can't get it right.
Anyone have some last minute sprayer advice. I've never used one before.
