Well I started over NOT!! Did manage to get some white on her. Had to spray in garage so got some over spray but that will scuff off. Thinking about 4 good coats then reevaluate. Going to check the dew time tonight. Think it starts around 3 am will check at midnight. If no moisture may spray in the afternoon around 6 or 7. That should be kicked enough to not be bothered by dew. What say yea all?

Here is the 1st coat of white.

Okay got it roughed up today and ready for 2nd coat. I must say it is looking good to me.

Now if I shoot a coat around 430 pm and the dew don't start till after midnight , would it be okay? Temps stay in the high 70's at night and around dark I could put it un garage I got for it. What do you think?

 

[Woodonglass]

Would what be OK??

 

[mccoytr]

would it be okay to paint in the evening like 3 hours before dark?

If the Temps are in the 70's and the dew won't hit for at least 2 hours after you stop spraying...Go For it!!!!

When using rustoleum with hardener how long to wait before recoat? I finished spraying around 11:30 am. Temp is 89 feels like 95, dew point is 71. Humidity appears low cause the pine needles are dull. I know not real scientific but works for baking.

I'd shoot the next coat around 4:30. It would be GREAT if you could get it into the Direct sunlight from 2:00 to 4:00 pm and then back into the shade to cool down prior to prepping for the next coat.

 

[mccoytr]

sunlight is a no issue but shade now thats an issue. Since I paint in the yard. I got a HF garage but dang its hotter in there then in the sunlight. Should I just wait til in the morning to paint. I can scuff tonight.

 

[Woodonglass]

With Temps almost hitting 90° you can easily shoot the next coat this evening. I would!

Uhmmm, I'd say....NICE!!!

I think so also. Checked it this morning and had some over spray from yesterday spray job. I think that was from the wind that picked up right in the middle of spraying it. So my plan is to wait 1 or 2 weeks and sand with 1000 and see what happens. If it cleans up ok then just leave it for a month or so then buff and polish. If it looks bad then sand with 440 and respray. This sound like a workable plan.

Will it be okay to set boat on tires for a couple of months while I work on the trailer, or should I build a cradle for it?

 

[Woodonglass]

I think tires will be fine but I'd put some blankets on top of em.

When installing the rub rail do I put 4200/5200 behind it, or just screw it on?
