There's still dust in your house, i'd use a heater which doesn't use a fan, like an Infra red heater

Not in your Garage, if u take the parts that yer spraying inside the house, and do it there, but if you cant do that use the normal method of using a heater, but not with a fan tho eh...

^^^ By the way don't use a hair drier it'll blow all sorts of dust and shit into what you're painting

Try getting something called Grip#4 spray this on before primering, if the surface is glossy then sand it first, then primer and sand any bumps in the primer then apply the paint, a hair dryer drys the paint really quick, Grip#4 is £12.50 from bodyshops or motor shops

You really need to give the surface you are gonna apply paint to a really good key. Then apply a plastic primer, then a high build, then the paint, then the lacquer. The cold could be a factor as it will make the paint surface damp and stop the paint from sticking and may start to micro blister

Was there paint on the splitter before u tried priming it, i know if it has been painted in the past with 2K paint, and you are priming with cellulose (from a can) it will react.

if ya in a garage with heater, it will be fine, not ideal climate but it wont cause the paint to flake, i spray in my garage all the time, only small stuff and the results i get are as good as you will get at a bodshop

I know its probally gonna look pants once ive finished... prob be all patchy, any advice?

give the splitter a good clean with panel wipe, could be some silicon of the surface of splitter/polish etc, paint wont stick to these

you need plastic primer maybe, not keyed the surface you are priming well enough

Ive been sprayin splitters with primmer and left i2 24hr and it has rippled and flaked off. so sanded them down and jsut sprayed it again now there are more bits flaking away.... :mad:

Its it the wrong primmer im using, using high build primmer.

Or is it cos the weather is so cold?

Help! :thumbs:
