Hey! have a question... Let's say that I have a hood that has been basecoated black. Now, the tech sheet says(does it?) I need to clearcoat it in max. 12 hours or 1(!), how do I airbrush a super detailed mural in 12 hours? :-D
And the solution is probably to clearcoat it first then scuff and then start airbrushing the mural with let's say wicked colors, which do not have a maximum curing time before clearcoating. All good, mechanical bond into the scuffed clear and over the wicked and wicked bonds to the scuffed clear, but what If I'm using the same basecoat that has a max curing time before clear? Then I'd have mechanical bond into the scuffed clearcoat but what happens to the mural? It has dried too long. Or has it really?
And then the mural could cover almost the entire hood, there would not be mech bond between the hood and the next clearcoat, all of it would be on top of the new paint which has dried too long.
Am I dumb, what have I missed? Is this one of those things where tech sheets don't apply, because rule books generally go out the window when airbrushing is involved?
Thanks?
