Need help with wrinkling substrate under base/clear
I am having fits with the base/clear Lesonal paint which I purchased for the roadster pickup, wrinkling the substrate when I spray it on previously bodyworked and primed panels. I am at the point now where I am real gunshy about painting the peices that I have left (front fenders and cowl and splash aprons),and repaint of the botched up grillshell and tailgate as they have all been extensively bodyworked and primed. Is there a good quality sealer (perhaps epoxy primer?) that I can spray on my remaining peices to ensure that they don't wrinkle when I paint them with base/clear? I need something that will absolutely seal the substrates from the reducer in the yellow base coat.--- I would prefer something that can be sprayed, left to flash off for a couple of hours, then sprayed over without sanding.---I've sanded as much as I really want to.---if that is not feasible, then something that cures for a week, then only needs to be lightly scuffed with a Scotchbrite pad---I'm getting kind of desperate here.---The darn stuff doesn't wrinkle consistently, but any wrinkling is not acceptable in a car that I have this much time and money into. I love the paint--when it goes on without wrinkling it sprays easy, has a beautifull gloss, and is everything that you would want a paint to be. Probably much of the fault is mine, as I have used various primers over the last year---laquer based primer, high solids primer, even rattlecan primer---bad on me, shoulda known better. Now I gotta get out of this fix, so hope a sealer will save my __ssOld guy hot rodder
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
