Why is this so bubbely???/
Do i have too much mineral spirits or not enough???
please tell me fast before it dries like this…
I am using the foam 4" roller by the way… UPDATE
This is with three coats rolled on…
Steps sp far:
primed car in flat black
rolled on 1 coat
wet sand with 400 grit
rolled on coat (with wrong roller)
wetsand with 800 grit
rolled on coat and thats it so far but today i am going to wetsand with 1000 grit and roll on another coat.
P.S. if you are going to try this then DO NOT Buy the rubbermaid foam rollers from wall-mart the cause the paint to bubble because the foam is not a high enough density ,if you try it use these rollers:
the car was dry when i put that coat on and then it started bubbling…
And i did wetsand the whole car with 400 grit yesterday…
but the very first coat i put on did not bubble at all like this…
WHAT IS CAUSING THE PAINT TO BUBBLE???
Silicone gets everywhere. Did you drive after you put it on? If you did it goes everywhere. If you ever take your car to a paintshop to get it painted never put that stuff anywhere on or in your car it will contaminate the shop.
Theres my restoration thread, I have a write up somewhere in there.If you need help just ask, i’ll try to give you some advice.
The bubbles are usually caused by TO MUCH mineral spirits. Its better to have the paint to thin then to thick though, its harder to get out the thick paint when wetsanding. I painted my car outside too, thats not the reason for all the bubbles. It could be the wheel cleaner as well.
Make sure you wash your car and wetsand all that stuff out, also try using less mineral spirits, and make sure to wetsand all those bubbles out before doing another coat. The consistancy of the paint should be a LITTLE bit thicker than water.
mine is coming along great.
I will do my final wetsand with 1000 grit tomorrow…
but after i do that wetsand do i roll on another coat ???
Do i Polish or wax first???
haters hate? didnt you sing the praises of the $50 roller job from the rooftops only to post a thread later about wanting to get your car professionally painted?
what do you get when you mix 30 1 pound ice cream sundaes with 30 1 pound cakes of of dog shit? 60 pounds of dog shit.
The problem with doing this method is that you have to do it yourself.
I’m a lazy fuck that doesn’t have time to work on this day in day out, I wanted to get it professionally done so I didn’t have to work on it anymore, it had nothing to do with the quality of the paint or the way it looked. I’m happy I didn’t get it done professionally because its coming out awesome.
The quality is fine, no one knows I painted my shit with a roller, so what the fuck difference does it make.
