Not happy with the paint on tank and hood of my M that I just painted. Used 2150 with activator. Cam out a little dry looking. Would like to sand it off and repaint it. Need to know how long to wait and what procedure to use to repaint it. Can I just lightly sand, shoot a tack coat, and then full wet coat? Any help appreciated.

If you wet sand it, and don't get to bare metal, one coat should do it. You don't need a tack coat. I have not used CIH 2150, though. It is an acrylic modified alkyd enamel, basically the 30's alkyd enamel with UV inhibitors added. What I described works for acrylic urethane, will likely work for acrylic enamel, and should work for 2150. I never use tack coats, urethane covers with two coats, I use 3 for insurance.

wait about a week, then i'd scuff the panel with a scotchbrite pad, wipe it down with a prep sol (wax and grease remover) tack rag it then you should be good for paint.

Glen, When I repaint do I have to go thru the process of a tach coat, partial wet coat and then full wet coat. Or can I Just go full wet coat?

put a tack coat on first, then shoot your color coat. you could probably put two nice wet coats on after the tack coat.

Just to add to what Glennster said , if you are repainting because of surface defects (rough texture,dirt etc)you should sand with 600 grit wet paper rather than using scotchbrite pads. Sandpaper will flatten out the surface smooth for the new paint. Scotchbrite pads will rough it up and take off material but will not "flatten" any surface defects out. It will ride over dirt nibs etc and just make rounded bumps out of them. It will also not smooth out orange peel.
