    Default Ok to spray epoxy over overspray/dry spray?

    Trying to do what I can about it, but it's getting tedious.

    Shot the backsides of my panels with primer/bc/cc on some sawhorses. Did not mask the other side, and I was doing the edges.. So I have a conglomeration of all the stuff on the other sides of the panels.. Is it cool to shoot epoxy and 2k over this stuff, or what should I do about it?

    Thanks guys!

    Wet sand the hard lines and/or overspray off in a day or two with 600 after the back is cured.

    Oh she's cure.. But 600 won't get it off.. Do I just have to scuff it? If so, no biggie.. Just not sure I can get it all off without creating a massive job.

    Wet sand it with 400 then go 600 wet. It will come off.

    Well, let me rephrase.. I would just sand with 80 if I wanted it off, but is it really necessary to take it off?

    If you can scuff it with some 180, 220 or 320 then it shouldn't be necessary to remove it. After it's coated with epoxy and 2K be sure to guide coat it then block it smooth.

    The only problem you could have is that dry spray doesn't adhere as well as a wet primer application so you my experience problems with adhesion down the road but if you think that it's not worth the effort to remove the overspray then scuff and shoot.

    Thanks for the reply len. Yes, I was wondering about adhesion! Well, I guess it's coming off then.. Or at least as much as I can get it off.
