[QUOTE=Loganvilledude;210668]I thought this little thread would help others now that I went through this project.
1. Take your time while painting. When I first started I was applying to many coats at once. What happened it the paint never dries and a month later it was still soft. Shoot it once let it dry shoot it again let it dry. Over and over again. My paint was purchased at Tractor Supply and for whatever reason the yellow has a lot of variation.
Your Original turned out well
But for the painting process you've described, I think it's just some poor paint. While painting you never want to let it dry completely between coats, or you'll be wet sanding every time you add a coat of paint, no thanks
First coat of paint should be your tack coat and apply from there until you get the coverage desired. With a good brand of paint, either rattle can or done with compressed air, one won't have the problem you had with the Tractor Supply paint.
