so im preppign my car for paint and i sanded down the a hood i picked up and it had a few little gouges in it so i filled it and let it dry, sanded it down and primed in like i have a couples times before but now in the spots where the filler is its like the primers not quite adhereing to it right ? or is it just different being ona different material?
you guys figure i can shoot the paint on this? or what should i do here thnx

 

Maybe the filler wasn't completely dry?

 

well its been like 2 days now and ive tryed going over it with more primer and the same thing still?!?!

 

Maybe your Mixture was wrong. Maybe there wasn't enough Hardener.

 

sigh..... its so weird tho its like absorbing the primer or like...pushing it off but its still going on nicely . just very strange, think im boned here boys

 

Take a closer pic. cant tell anything from the posted pic

 

 

Thats not much better. Im assuming the lite coloring is where your filler is? If so it looks as though your primer is soaking in to your filler. Are you thinning your primer to much? Lacquer based? urethane based? Spray can?

 

spray can :\

 

If its only doing it where your filler is its probably soaking in from a cheaper primer. Usually to thin. Let it dry over night and lightly sand with 180 and reprime. It should start to build after 2 or 3 coats.

 

ive hit it twice since i did it like 2 days ago now, ill try hittin it with the sand paper tomorrow though and hope for resuslts.

 

Is the primer laying down nice and smooth? Or is it not adhering

 

it seemed like it was laying down on it alright when i ran my hand over it when it was dry but when i sprayed a coat on it, i watched it like soak in

 

Its either soaking in or something is bleeding through. Use a differnt primer tomorrow after this has cured overnite. Let me know tomorrow

 

I had the same problem using rattle can primer. It's because rattle can is too thinned out. What I did was really goober it on there really thick. It had some runs, but goober it on the spot, sand it down smooth and flat, then finish up with a light coat. That should do it.
