Hello,
I am applying Primocon primer to the sides of my flat bottom Jon Boat. I am focusing on the bare metal spots, and feathering the Primocon over the touching painted areas so not to have an abrupt line.
I am thinning with Brush EZE, and I have also not primed. I have used different levels of primer, applying thin coats, thick coats, etc. I am applying with a foam roller, brush as needed, and tiping with a foam "tomahawk."
No matter what I do the primer coat is coming out like an orange peel. The prepped surface was flat as glass, but after applying primocon, the surface visibly looks like an orange peel.
Is this normal? What do I need to do to get a shiny finish in the end?
Do I need to sand the Primocon before applying the pre-kote? I read that I don't need to sand between Primocon coats, but I have not been able to find any information on the Pre-Kote.
Thanks for any advice.
