When you spray paint metal and some paint clumping/dripping occurs...?

how do you get rid off those drip marks so that I can prime and recoat those areas again?When you spray paint metal and some paint clumping/dripping occurs...?
Time to get the sandpaper out. You are probably too close to the object being painted or you are applying too much paint at a time. Using two or three light coats will give you a better finish and dry quicker. Hold the spray can about 12'; away from the object you are painting and keep the can moving. If you stop moving, the paint will be thicker there and tend to run.When you spray paint metal and some paint clumping/dripping occurs...?
20 grit sandpaper, then re prime.
Sand paper.
First off, you did NOT clean the surface you were about to paint of grease and oil. You needed to make it tabletop clean. Secondly, you are putting the paint on too heavy. I am assuming it is a vertical surface(like a wall) - not horizontal(like a floor).


You HAVE to let it dry. then sand smooth.....then put on a lighter coat - let it dry a while - then another light coat - let it dry awhile and that covers the primer.


The finish coat happens the next day if it is enamel (and not laquer) Then lightly sand with fine sandpaper and blow clean. Then light coats of finish paint....fogging on a coat and wait(and fog some on a nearby surface that won't matter if you touch it) after 5 minutes or so touch your testing spot. Is it sticky or is it wet - no stickyness?? wait till it is sticky or even drier....then put on another fog coat....and wait........and repeat again. No need to sand between these coats as the paint sovents will melt into the last fresh coat and hold it together. Your final finish coat will be the heaviest coat(the heaviest fog, so give extra time for the second fog to get really sticky.


Blanket the third coat on over the whole surface evenly and walk away. Any misses will have to be fixed after everything has dried a day or two.


That is how they paint cars.
