ok well i am painting a friends 98 custom and i just put the first coat of red on it and it seems like there r spots every where how do i get rid of them and is that normal?

[Dunceb4ll]

buff em out. Yes that is normal, those are bubbles in the paint. A buffer will knock the out real well. don't recommend spray paint though.

A good cleaning is needed to prevent taht from happening.
Sand that baby down a bit.
Clean it properly.
Repeat 1st color coat.

they really dont look like bubbles and by sanding down do u mean take first layer of red off or just wet sand the entire gun?

I'd reccomend stripping it down too. it will give you better results. I worked in a body shop, and I know alot about bubbles in paint. Its caused by something on the original surface. IE: silicone. just sand it down make sure the paint has something to "grip" , then clean the surface (lint free towel will do good), then paint

Strip it. If you skip this you'll regret it. I use aircraft stripper to take Tippmann paint off and it works great, just wear a mask and thick chemical gloves. That stuff is Nasty!
