Paint Help

[Vegas_Nick]

I'm painting the dash on the 74. I have sanded it, shot with with the Rustoleum satin black that I wanted and it started to fish eye and bubble in a few spots. I sanded that off down to bare metal in some places and now shot it with Duplicolor sandable primer. 20 minutes later.... same freaking thing!   Soooo.. paint experts, help! (please)

What I've done in a similar situation - sand down close to bare metal.  Wash with detergent, like Tide, or dish soap.  sand with new, clean sandpaper to get rid of flash rust.  Prime.  Let primer cure for several days.

I'll give that a try. Thanks!

You have to degrease that stuff. Denatured alcohol from your local big box store will work in a pinch as well.

Takes many cleanings . Lots of armor all over the last 50 years

Most of the time fish eyes in paint are caused by silicone on the surface...which is why all products with silicone in are banned from spray shops as a rule.

I found a local guy here to just media blast the dash and glove box door. $50 well spent!

Probably to much armor all all over it for many years. Use plenty of wax & grease remover. LEON.

Use lacquer thinner.....prime, let dry, scuff, wipe down with a pre paint cleaner and paint

Or just sand blast and powder coat. Fade, rust and scratch resistant for a lifetime.

Lennard, I'm dropping it off at Snail Motorsports on Monday.

I have no clue who that is.

I could go into a big deal about pros and cons of powder coat, but the main thing here is that it still needs to be clean for it to last.

I have no clue who that is. 

Supposedly one of the best in Vegas.
