I took a few days off this week to try and get some painting done on the interior and chassis of my car. I'm not sure which of the gods I've angered this time, but it feels like it's been one setback after another.
I did get the doors painted finally (this was the second attempt as I had setbacks with them last weekend). Yesterday the KBS Rust Seal I sprayed reacted with my car. It beaded up in numerous places. Whether I sprayed it wrong, or prepped the car wrong I'll never know. So I spent some time sanding paint back off. I'll try again the next day. What paint didn't bead up ran. So I spent some time sanding paint back off. I'll try again the next day... Then I went to open my brand new can of KBS Chassis paint- and discovered that the paint inside had congealed. Half the can was a solid rubber-like goo that wouldn't mix or thin down with the rest of the liquid paint inside. I spent ten minutes trying to mix it and all I did is break up some of the rubber chunks and made a mess while doing that. Grrr.
At least the low gloss paint I purchased at my local paint supply worked well. It laid down properly and is providing a nice low gloss sheen on the loose parts I painted so far. I'll ultimately use this on the rest of the interior and engine bay area.
