I'm painting some steelies and i sanded the shit out of them with a wire brush and drill to get the old paint off. I thought i got it really smooth but as soon as my first coat of paint dried it looks rough as shit.

Is there anything i can do to make it look better or do i just need more coats or paint?


Thanks,
Jake

MORE IMPATIENT

a wire brush. haha yea thats rough as hell, thats prolly equivalent to 36 grit sandpaper. only thing you can do is get some real thick urethane primer, lay it down, and then prep the primer and wetsand with some 600 or higher grit paper for a nice smooth base.

Did u by chance spray a primer first???

It wasnt called primer but i painted them black first.

sand it back down with some 220 wet and dry sand paper. spray it with a primer first. You may or may not have to sand the primer coat. Mine I did not, but I also did not sand the wheels at all. If it looks good spray the paint next. if it looks rough you will have to sand and prime one more time before painting.

You think i messed it up with the wire brush wheel??

no, you just need to prime and sand it till you get it smooth again. may take some effort is all.

use light coats, so that it will dry quickly
