painting ls6 intake, fisheye after primer
I am in the process of painting my ls6 intake with duplicolor rattle can paint. I laid down my primer (highbuild) and it looks great except one area about the size of a quarter has developed some pretty bad fisheye. I sanded the intake with 180, then 400 and clean cleaned/degreesed and allowed plenty of time to dry.
My question is where do I go from here? Should I sand the whole intake, clean and degreese and lay another coat? Or should I attempt to spot fix that area and only sad/clean/apply at that spot?

i would sand that area smooth and re-prime that spot using light coats. also when you start painting dont wet the hell out of it at first. start with a few light coats and flash in between coats really good. then go ahead and wet it. less material is always better.

Flash time is the time in between spraying coats of primer, paint or clear. If you dont allow enough time in between coats you could get runs or delamination (peeling) and lots of other problems.

Thanks, That will not be a problem as I am giving this sucker tons of time to cure. Is it bad to give it to much dry time?

Most products have an 8, 12 or 24h recoat window. What this means is you have up to 8, 12 or 24 hours to do the next coat without having to sand and repaint it. Paints usually have the recoat and flash times on them some where. The only concern with waiting a long time (while still being in the recoat window) would be contaminants such as dust, bugs, chemicals etc.

Probably your problem. That stuff is junk
