hi, my brother works as a spray painter ( thats all he does, no body work) at bruce lellman crash here in renmark, he said that it depends on what type of undercoat u use ( i.e 2 pak or acrylic) and over what u spray the undercoat. if you prime over bog repairs ideally you should finnish rubbing yoiur bog work with 120 grit or finer to minimize any sanding scratch coming back up thru the paint at a later date.
24 hours should be long enough for the primer to cure, wether 2pak or acrylic. if you get any shrinkage coming thru or map edging , its probally more likelly to be from the prep work , more so than the drying time. you can also run innto trouble if you prime over acrylic paint that has not had the edge feathered properly. alot of people tend to blame the undercoat or dryingtime than the actual prep work. something to think about . mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: "nat P." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 1:24 PM Subject: Is there a Beater OR PAINTER > Is there a Panel Beater AND/OR a spray painter on the > list!!! > > I need to know some info, I alway leave the primer to > dry for a least 24 hours before I spray the top coat! > Do I have to wait this long? > Cheers NAT > > http://www.sold.com.au - SOLD.com.au > - Find yourself a bargain! > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
