At the risk of enhancing my reputation as a contrarian, I will say that I like Rustoleum the regular kind - haven't used Painter's Touch. I did have a problem with wrinkling one time but I think I have the hang of using it now. My secret is to not wait a long time between coats. I got this idea from someone in this forum. Neil Tarasoff. Kevin, Oh common, Tai Fu comments on stuff he has never tried or used.
Leonard Fehskens. Andy Waddell. I've always avoided Rustoleum after using it a few years ago for a half-dozen cans or so for two reasons, unless I can't get Krylon in a similar color: 1 The Rustoleum seems to be very prone to plugging the nozzle midway through the can no matter how much shaking you do before and during. Well, there's this Neil Tarasoff guy who tells me that this Bob Kaplow guy has heard from some Andy Shecter guy that John Cato says that Jerry Irvine says that Bob Fortune told him about Gene Constanza talking about some guy who goes by the name of Leonard Fehskens says that Rustoleum works just fine Chris Taylor Jr.
But if you apply the second coat within say hours you will be fine too. I, and a hundred others Steven Piette. Steve, I've noticed that with any metallic, regardless of brand.
They seem to dry VERY quickly, like minutes. Kurt Kesler. Hey Charles, You left out Tai Fu. Gene Costanza. I'm flattered, but no Binford, Kesler, Garrow or Simpson! Go figure Brian Jarvis. What is the benefit of using the hair dryer? How does it make the "killer coat"? It accelerates the paint curing process. I said 'hair dryer' because a heat gun, while the better 'tool', generates scads of heat and requires a lighter touch and assurance you don't locally overheat a spot it could delaminate the airframe.
Mark Simpson. Gene, It's nice to know that you listened to my painting or lack thereof advice. Now, to really surprise you, I do paint No contest. Rustoleum hides better, runs less, give higher gloss with less work and dries to a harder shell. What else could you ask from a rattle can?
Lewis Garrow. I love the Rustoleum paints, but not the cheapo version. The only thing I like better are automotive lacquers - but they are more expensive and more toxic. Since you follow Mark's painting system, when do you apply the kitty litter? IIRC, Rustoleum has a warning to apply a second coat within 20 minutes, 2 hours? Wrinkling is the price for nonconformance. It's a pain. Bruce Kirchner. You'd have to be REAL masochist to ever want to paint contact paper. Besides, how on earth would I get such realistic wood-like appearances on my rockets using paint?
Don't answer, it was a rhetorical question. Imagine a high performance wood- grained Phoenix I can see it now Steve, That would be Bruce.
Mine just look like they've been dragged through the litter box because I hate filling, sanding and painting. Did you see my pix on ABMR? After I get sick of wood-grained paper, I'm switching to marble-esque contact paper and using the two part fake marble paint for the nosecones. They'll be my ROCK-et series. Steven, Maybe the Team 1 guys would chip in and buy me a bigger motor, hoping that the rocket got lost.

Thread starter Buckeye Start date Sep 11, Help Support The Rocketry Forum:. Joined Sep 6, Messages 2, Reaction score This is my worst paint experience. I read many horror stories about orange peel and wrinkles, yet I never had a problem until now. The culprits: plastic nose cone, Rustoleum 2X white primer, Rustoleum Mettalic top coat The wrinkling started with the second coat of primer on a different section of the nose cone.
I followed all instructions, and waited 7 days between coats. Finally, I sanded off the wrinkles on the primer, wiped clean, and went with the metallic. The wrinkling spread right before my eyes, growing like a giant fungus in a horror movie.
Would it ever stop? Rustoleum 2X primer says "Bonds to plastic! After reading many paint threads here, most people think it is junk. Anyway, how do I fix this mess? Can I just sand off the wrinkles, clean, mask, prime, sand, and top coat in the local area?
I hope I don't have to remove the paint from the entire nose cone and start from scratch. My guess is something was on the plastic at those spots but a bad can of paint could be the culprit too.
Anyway nothing for it but sand and respray. I would try to blend it without masking to avoid the inevitable paint dam at least when I do something like that. I would peel off the offending area and see if the wrinkles are the top coat not bonding to primer, or did the top coat stick to the primer which then lifted from the plastic. Two different causes, two different solutions, depending which it is. As a result, the second coat attempts to bond to an unstable substrate.
In this case, the topcoat wrinkles because it loses adhesion to the item's surface. Another reason behind wrinkled sprayed-on paint is surface contamination. For spray paint to dry properly, it must have a clean, dry and properly prepared surface. If the surface is contaminated with a solvent or cleaner film left from the surface preparation steps, that residue can react with the spray paint carriers and cause the spray paint to wrinkle as it dries.
In this case, the paint must be removed and the surface re-cleaned before being repainted. Paint formulations vary from one paint line to another. Some use acrylic- or water-based carriers. Other paints are lacquer-based, and some are propelled by volatile epoxy solvents.
