Using 2150 HI paint on a farmall. Would like to know the times between coats of paint and how many coats will get a fairly decent job? Is the first coat suppose to be a real light tack coat. Thanks for any input.

The flash time is very important on the new 2150 formula. I learned this the hard way. If the weather is 70 degrees with low humidity then I usually recoat in 30 minute. make sure not to recoat between 3 and 48 hours after application. The paint is VERY likely to raise. If the weather is extra hot and dry, 15 to 20 minutes may be enough.

When i was painting cars with enamel or acrylic enamel, i'd just very lightly touch the wet paint with one knuckle, the back of my hand to the metal, after each coat! You'd have to use a bit of finess with this method--don't press hard--just a light touch Be surprised how you can tell if the coat you put on is dry enough for another coat. Don't touch it on a flat panel--touch on a raised part of the metal, or near an edge! When the paint is ready for another coat, it will be sticky. If yer finger wants to slide, its too soon!

The interval depends on the paint. With quality paint from PPG, DuPont, etc, the interval is about 10-15 minutes at 70 degrees. You need to wait until it flashes, or becomes tacky, not quite dry to the touch. As to tack coats, I don't use them, unless the instructions say to. again it probably depends on the paint. Number of coats is dependent on how well the paint covers, with PPG Omni, 3 coats is enough. I have not used CIH 2150, so I cannot say anything about it.
