Hello everyone,

After a 6 months of work on my Catalina I was ready to spray it. I read up on everything and talked to members here to make sure I was doing things correct. Build a filter system on one side of my garage. Another in my doorway where I place a fan to create the airflow. I washed the car down three times, wiped down with spray glass cleaner and finally the wax and grease remover from the paint manufacturer. Sprayed a color sealer, Bc, and the clear coat.

It shined and had a great reflection!! Waited a week to make sure everything when right.

With all the filtering I still had a lot of trash in the paint. But everyone said the can be wet sanded out.

Here’s where things went bad. Waited 5 days then started wet sanding with 3m 1200 grit. Knew about the edges and style lines not to sand too much around theses. But I burned through three time while just barely going over them. Here’s where it confused me. It went down the the gray highbuild primer. I sprayed three coats of red color sealer, three coats of base coat, and four coats of cleat coat. Why did it burn through so fast? Could I been spraying to dry to cause this problem? Now I’m afraid I’m going to have too redo the whole car because of matching the color.

Please help!
