Krylon Paint/Primer spits out blotches of paint (Sand it down?)
Well, upon getting some nice weather outside finally on a weekend, I decided to paint my T&F Control Panel.
This is Krylon Dual Bond Paint and Primer in a spray can, bought at Walmart (I have finally learned to never buy anything "serious" at Walmart. It is such crap they sell. Anyways). I shake the can for 3-5 minutes just to make sure it's thoroughly shaken up. It's been sitting in my basement (average 55-60 degrees) for about a week since I've bought it. As soon as I start spraying (about 8-10 inches away from the panel) large blobs of paint, along with the aerosol, start flying out of the nozzle, all over my fingers, and on my arm, and on the control panel also. There was so much paint coming out that it has run on the control panel.
I'm assuming I need to sand this down but what type of sandpaper to use? Fine/Ultra Fine if I want to not dig into the metal of the panel? Or should I just use a wire wheel and strip it all off, or use paint stripper?
I'm also assuming I can't do this today (just painted it about an hour ago), and I have to wait until it fully dries / cures?
