Hi all, first time poster here. I'm plagued by a problem that I can't describe and have already had to strip a perfect finish off of a guitar pedal due to this odd behavior with the clear coat. I was hoping someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can correct my action moving forward.
A little over a year ago I painted a metal box with a rattle can finish. I had a nice primer coat, started with a silver metal flake coat and then alternated silver and transparent purple. I finished with several coats of rustoleum clear. Several. I laid it on really thick. I looked great for awhile.
I've noticed however that when I set the pedal down or anything on top of the finish it permanently presses grooves into the finish. The pedal has been 'dry' for over a year and it's still doing it. I've already stripped the clear off and I'm working on starting over again but this time I'd like to correct my technique so I get the finish hard this time.
Any suggestions?
