[QUOTE="Jonboat2Bassboat, post: 280103, member: 9662"] Well sometimes the mfg gets things wrong. They said to wait 24 hours before applying second coat, which maybe I should have done, but they also said to thin with not more than 10% mineral spirits. Had to thin to 25% to get it to spray well. So who knows. Painted the boat today. First and second coat. Applied first coat and as soon as the boat was painted shot the secons coat as the first coat was "dry". Maybe I should have waited the 24 hours for the second coat but who knows? Plan right now is to sand what is on the boat with 340 and put on a 3rd and 4th coat, one right after the other, tomorrow. The bottom paint did the same thing again, even after sanding the "final" coat of bottom paint and re-applying the "final" coat. Rub your hands on the paint and the primed coat shows through. Don't know what is going on but it is what it is. Hopefully will get the boat in the water before the end on Sept and see what happens. Photos of color paint attached. [/QUOTE]
