Re: shooting single stage - question

I am by no means an expert but i will give you my 2 cents. The 2k primer is designed to kick fast so you can get on it to sand and the single stage is going to stay wet longer. With that being said i think that you spraying the test hood in the conditions that you will be painting to determine how much time you have and how slick you can get it is the right thing to do. It will be easier to spray multiple panels a time rather than an overall and if it is kicking too fast i would try some urethane retarder.

Also, i would not over reduce the paint to get it to lay slick it is going to hurt your coverage. Try adjusting your gun instead with more fluid and more air.
