ok guys, it's me with the paint issue. Used white international pre-kote with 50% fire red (top-coat) mixed. Gave it 2 coats of this pink undercoat...... now I'm on 5th fire red topcoat, might be the last! it's taken 5 coats! So originally I painted 2 coats fire red that didn't cover the blue. I probably should have just carried on with a few more coats of red and not started again with undercoat?..... what a chuffin mission this has turned into lol

Thanks bod, I'm going to key it all and use international white pre-kote undercoat on the whole panel. Everyday's a school day!

Except they are geeza! The dark patches are Oxford blue toplac (over primer and undercoat), that was over-painted with fire red toplac topcoat. I've just sanded off the fire red back to the blue in places, and am overpainting the fire red toplac with fresh fire red toplac , So primer undercoat topcoat is all there

I'm aware of primer, undercoat topcoat..... for bare steel. What I'm doing is overcoating topcoat, all the previous coats are already there

hi folks, it's my boat. I though toplac straight over toplac would be fine...well it is, I've done that with the blue, BUT, I wasn't to know that red wouldn't cover the blue!...... Perhaps if I had attended a different painting school who knows, anyway! Start again then. What are your recommendations for a suitable undercoat? Pre-Kote? white or grey? thanks in advance.
