Still, Still Killing Us

It’s been over a year since the botched paint job on my Dad’s truck. The one where he bought single stage unknowingly and it got sprayed as base coat clear coat.

So Dad finally got it all sanded and ready to spray, so we went for it last night.

Laid down a good coat of white sealer to level everything and keep from issue:

That went wonderfully and we let it dry/tack for it’s recommended 20 mins. Then we moved on to the White Pearl base coat. Initially it laid out beautifully, but after the 15 min tack time, things went to hell:

It did this bad enough on the passenger bedside that the paint was coming off in a big sheet:

It’s reacted all the way down through the factory paint, that is the bare metal showing.

We’re going to try sanding it out again and give it one more try, but I already have a feeling it won’t end well.
