My 70 Dart

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! I had some defects on the trunk lid I painted already. So for the last several days, in between other household jobs, I had sanded down the trunk with 100 grit at first then went with 240 grit for last. Clean, clean, clean, then cleaned again to get as much dirt/crud off the floor and the trunk lid itself. I went and sprayed the effects topcoat today....... Same thing, craters.... Man, am I ever ticked off! I used the same methods I did with the rear valence and the hood, but with different results. Only I didn't cover the trunk with a solid color. Could this be the problem, the aluminum is causing the problems with my paint? The craters are not big to start, but small. Once I had the paint mixed I was committed to using it. So I hammered the hell out of it to see if that would eliminate the craters. I was thinking it was a film issue that would be corrected with enough paint to promote a complete film. That was not a complete removal of the issue. So now I have to wait until it's fully cured and then sand that bugger down to the solid blue base, then repaint. The only good thing is that the trunk is very, very clean/ free from crud. Oh well, back at it tomorrow.
