Guys I am losing my mind with this car and the front end. Background… I am restoring the car and when I first took everything off the front end I had it down to the bare metal. So, I go to paint the front end and everything is going really smooth and laying down great. I am using spray cans (it’s paint put into the spray bottles you get from home depot) and I was putting down the final coat on top when I hit the frame with the can and it took off all the coats in a crease. Sooooo, since then I have been having major issues with getting the paint to lay right. I ended up sanding most everything back down again and now every time I try to shoot a layer it f***ing cracks again.. I am losing my mind here guys. This is holding me up from putting everything back together and dropping the car off the stand finally.. attached pictures of what’s going on and everything I have.
So prep on this was, I sanded with 180, 300, 400, 800 then 1000 grit, wiped the surface with odorless mineral spirits, waited like 30ish mins and started the first light coat. This is what I got. It is driving my insane. I know some of you are paint gurus and are going to think I am dumb for something small, but what am I doing wrong?!!
I also have this primer too as well as a self etching primer. Should I put the self etching down and then put the primer over it?
