I spent the last 6 months filling, fairing and blocking my '65 mustang.
I painted the hood, trunk lid, fenders and little parts off the car in Nason 3.5 2 stage Brittany Blue. Those parts came out fairly nice but the main body base coat ended up spraying dry and splotchy especially on the horizontal surfaces. :sweat:
I also had the problem of 1st buying the Nason base with one type of binder and then needed more base paint later on and found that the binder changed because of new VOC laws. This meant that I couldn't blend the new paint with the old to keep the tint consistent. I ended up having to use the new paint in the jambs and used it on the 1st 2 coats, let it flash and then used the old base on top. Both base paints we going on dry and I couldn't figure out exactly why but I was already into plus it was going to rain the next day and needed to make room to get the other car back in the garage before the rain came. So I went ahead and bit the bullet and shot the clear.
I used a Devilbiss 670plus gun with a 1.3 tip.
This is my first full paint job attempt. It was going acceptable until it came to the biggest and most important part.
The question is should I sand and reshoot the entire car again or am I better off taking it to someone who knows what he's doing?
Should I spray primer over what I just shot to start with a new canvas? Whats the best way to keep the new paint from getting into the jambs?
Does anyone know what the cost in the SF Bay area would be for a scuff and reshoot?
