I was not pleased with my last effort on the clear that i sprayed...too much peel. I just could not get it to look right by sanding the large areas and staying off the edges and body lines. I am sanding it down with 600 wet again and hope to get it flat enough to re-spray. I have a few minor dings to touch up with base and then hit it again.
I have read on here that lots of you pros use a slow activator on the clear to help it lay down smooth. Keeping in mind that I am a garage painter and a rookie...should I go with a slower activator? I am spraying SPI Universal and used normal activator the last time. I picked up a quart of slow today and wondered if I should mix the two at some ratio to help me out...50/50 or 75/25? It is pretty cold up here in the mountains at night, so I will do as before and leave heat on for 24 hours before and 48 hours after I spray...homemade plastic paint booth should be about 70 degrees.
Wii the slower reducer be more apt to run on me? I am thinking the same slower dry process may results in more runs as it smooths out?
Would you stick to what I have used before or try the new mix? This will be my last application, so it needs to be right.
