I used Flat black duppli color 3 times and it was black

then I used clear coat from duppli color 'crystal clear'

then I see black color coming off as I sprayed crystal clear

How long should I wait until black color dries?

I waited about 20 minutes.... thats not enough?

Sigh... I've been doing this over and over for hours now... getting tired!

Please help!!!

lol...it says it dry after 15 mins. only the skin is really dry. and spray light coats and thin coats. but just take ur time...painting takes time and patiance...give it atleast and hour
or even a day

its my 4th time doing it all over again from sanding it down...

did i buy a wrong product? its not clear clear... it has some silver color...!!!!

black one wasn't coming off, it just had silver color on clear coat.

I had the same problem!...when i sprayed clear coat on it the Charcoal color was coming off too!....You have to let it dry about an hour in a warm temperture between coats!!

gomdangie

ok after the black spray, gonna wait at least a day to dry it and spray the coat... i rushed because instruction said u have to coat it within 1 hour of spraying color

i have found that spray paint can be rather tricky... even though it says the quaota time on how long it should dry, you almost allways have to wait longer... and also the wheather has to be just right. i have found that 75-85 is pretty good for me

I waited about 20 minutes between coats but thats only because I used a heat gun.

Patience Man!

ok now i get it, i am doing it all over again
heres tip from my experience

do not spray clear coat too much and do not shoot it too close

learnt it hard way ...sigh

kanundrum

when i painted, first clean it and sand it, then prime it with a basecoat ( gray), then hit it with black, then clear it.

let it dry for about 2 hours each step.

should work.

can you link me to how to remove the rear scion logo off the trunk lid. i tried searching but didnt find it for some reason. or is it real easy just popping it out after taking 1 screw?

KooLAiD

You don't need a link, it's real easy. Just take a flat head screwdriver and a towel to wrap over the end. Just wedge it behind the emblem and slowly pry around the entire emblem. Just take it slow and be careful. There are two prongs in the upper left and lower right corner to be careful of as well. I painted mine along with my interior last week. Here is a pic. Still have to fill in the Scion in white.

Thanks, I am installing my interior LED in the next week or so and a tCover this weekend. After that, it is on to the fun stuff......performance. Just wanted to do a couple quick interior things before the goodies.

Removing the rear emblem...

Something about "prying" a logo away from a painted surface worries me. They look good painted though. I just did my front logo a gloss black and it looks sharp.

KooLAiD

As long as you don't push hard and are gentle, you will have no problem. JUST MAKE SURE YOU WRAP THE END OF WHATEVER IT IS YOU ARE USING TO PRY IT OFF SO YOU DON'T SCRATCH THE PAINT. Mine came off with no problem, maybe use a hairdryer for 30 seconds or so before you start to take off the emblem. This will loosen the modeling tape in the back.

Schweeeeeet. I'm gonna get my gloss on.

wow!! that is bright!!!to bad its the wrong color! I prefer blue myself but the car looks pretty cool!

KooLAiD
