For those who were horrified by my pending bondo repairs, the nightmare continues! I'm trying to fix parts of a 30 yr old MAACO paint job with rattlecans! The vertical parts of the MAACO job aren't that bad, but the horizontal parts were full of dust. I can take the trunk lid off and have it painted, and I'll buy a bulge hood and have that painted, and the fenders can be taken off and redone by a real painter. I want to put the vinyl roof back on (the front 2/3's of the roof was vinyl). That only leaves me with the back of the roof, the dutchman panel, the c-pillars and the top parts of the rear fenders to do. Seems reasonable? I've already painted the trunk and the area behind the bumper, and did not get stripes. I'm using a different paint on the exterior though, Duplicolor Universal Black lacquer. It matched whatever MAACO used. The Duplicolor doesn't "put out" like Rust-oleum or Eastwood products. The output is weak sauce, but after 7 coats surely the area is fully covered (will be, this shot is after coat 5).
I've been doing 50% coverage on my passes.
Any idea why these stripes are happening?
Can this be corrected with buffing? There's got to be plenty of paint there to work with.
