So I decided to use someones diy on painting my emblems black and it went very wrong lol. I did all the steps like sanding them, using black spray paint, primer and self eching primer to and they looked good from when they were done, but them started to peel away when i went to handle them. Im so freaking mad lol. It took me along time to do. what went wrong lol. what didnt i do. The first pic went ok then chipped lol.

 

how long did you let them dry before handling them?

 

better yet after you sanded then cleaned then put on the etching primer how long did you let it dry ??? looks like you put paint on the primer before it dried .

BULLET !!!!!!! help this guy out please
FYI bullet is DF's resident painter

 

You didn't let them dry long enough. You also probably didn't put enough coats. What brand paint did you use?

I painted mine flat black (No gloss/protection on them) and they are still fine.

 

hell i didnt even sand or primer mine i just bombed em with krylon. they lasted 2 months and i decided to debadge. i think drytime and or paint selection was an issue here

 

I didn't prime mine either lol, and they're flat.

 

Hey, I left them dry a long time.
I touched them with my hand to make sure and they were dry. I went to autozone and used all good products lol. Anyone want to do them for me. I ship them out to you lol.

 

ill have to put my money on the drying time too. also what were the weather conditions? i can do them for u if u pay for the paint i have everything else...

and rh i would have responded earlier but i was getting ready for the cowboys game lol

 

Too thick of coats, probably only did 2 or 3 coats and they were solid by that point werent they? If you did the coats to thick then they will chip easier than if you go very light coats.

 

bullet to the rescue....you need a cape bro
