Title: paint help
Post by: Shieldwolf on September 15, 2003, 09:14:07 pm

So I started painting my cab coat three of black semigloss paint, but still looks a little uneven. Any suggestions?

What are you painting with?
Brush & Roll? Hm... after 3 coats it should be pretty well covered...
Spray Paint? <shivers> I can never get spray paint to look right on large surfaces.
Spray Rig? Oh goodness I hope not... If you can't get it right by the 3rd coat, you've got problems

I'm going to assume you're using spray paint because thats the one most people try & fail at.  I personally have never gotten a good even finish with spray paint, but most people around here say the following:

Only apply in light coats.
Sand smooth after each layer (except the final layer).
Take your time & make sure it's completely dry before applying the next coat.

Good luck!

You did use primer before your painted right?
