Default RE: the unofficial home of the dumas dauntless

Hi Captains,

So disaster struck.... I got in the new cans of paint & resumed painting the hull. The blue paint seemed to be taking well in the first coats, but it seemed like it just needed more paint to cover. Now that I picked up the new paint & resumed, I sprayed a couple more coats to even it out, well, now the hull resembles blue camoflage....[sm=47_47.gif] This is not good!

I sprayed this blue paint on a primed Krylon surface in the past (about 2 years ago) & had good results so I was under the impression it was going to work. I have just learned that in 2008 Krylon changed their formula from acrylic laquer to oil based. It does not mention any formula change on their primer so I was under the impression it was fine. Well, now I know it is not fine. Krylon is now oil based & the paint I used was acrylic laquer so, I am in for a real fun sanding session. [:@]


Always something..
