Hey all,

I just stripped all the paint down (aircraft remover), sanded with 220 then 400 and then laid on the 1st coat (rustoleum gloss black).

I used about 65% rustoleum and 35% mineral spirits.

Am I right in thinking that I put this 1st coat on way too thick? How can I fix it? Can I just wetsand it before the 2nd coat or could I get by wetsanding after the 2nd coat?


First Coat (unsanded)

I think that looks a tad heavy.....BUT there's 2 ways to look at it, since you layed it down very nice and smooth, you'll get coverage faster, and you could lay 2 coats as you did, and wetsand (which i actually find quite quick to do myself) and then another coat, really good perfect wetsand, and polish.....done...

the key being you layed a good coat down quite smoothly, and anytime you can do that your ahead in my book. You could be done in 4 coats....
