Hmmm.... Interesting, I was under the impression you had to sand between coats. Is that not the case?

i really liked your tutorial however !!!!! WD40 contains no silicone and is safe to use in your shed without contaminating it.
(you still need to panelwipe before any paint work is commenced though)
most contamination in sheds and garages come from silicone based plastic cleaners like "back to black" type products, its always best to buy silicone free products anyway if you are using them where you wish to paint.
most of you will have more problems with water contamination.
keep your compressor tank drained, spend as much as you can afford to on your air filter/regulators make sure your garage/shed is nice and warm and dry before!!! starting Your compressor, as dry air will yield less moisture when compressed.
if you do find water contamination in you lacquer (looks milky) dont panic it can be cured you will need to find someone with a infared paint dryer, have them bake it for you this will cure the problem.
infact i brought one to dry my work, it makes things a whole lot quicker as you can prime, paint and lacquer in one day if you need too
a small hand held unit will cost around £200 dont buy an ordinary infared heater this will not dry paint (wrong wave length of light)

kind regards steve

WOW, that was a great tutorial. Very informative & I picked up on a few things I have been slipping on. Mostly for my final work & paying customers I get my work cleared by the pro's as they have the booths etc & pollish up for me. This is the icing on the cake with our work I feel. If we cant clear properly or confidently, get someone to do it for you & develop that relationship so you can take your work & the guys know what you want done all the time. "These guys will make your work look even better" (words of the great Mike Lavalle) This has worked for me, but I do occasionally clear something myself. Thanks for the posting, its really great.

I read somewhere that watering the floor down could cause problems? anyone else? If not, then great, Ive been reclearing a whole car and the water would help i think.
