[QUOTE="C_Heath, post: 415180, member: 18964"] Let me start off by saying I paid my way through college by doing bodywork lol. I have some skills but good lord. I have a 14/42 Alumacraft and it was not bad to start but I did sand it all with 120 and knocked it all the way down to the metal where the alumacraft letters were on the back as well as where the old registration numbers were as they were awful looking. I dont have any pics ready to upload but after sanding and tacking it down, I primed it with rustoleum self etching primer (green) and it really looked good. All the hard work on the scratches paid off with 4 days of sanding. Well, on to the paint. I waited until dusk to spray for wind reasons and its still streaky looking. One line dark, another light. Almost as it primer didnt get covered. I let it dry for about 36 hours outside and tho some better, I can still see some streaks. Should I do another coat or let it dry longer? I sprayed 10" away but sometimes I would get closer as the wind picked up. Honesty, if I stayed 10 inches away it would take 30 cans to finish as you dont get hardly any coverage until about 6 inches away. Any thoughts? Wait? One more coat? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
