    Default sticky paint

    ILast night I sprayed a trunk lid with Deltron 2000 base coat with some Dt870 reducer mixed at 1 to 1 . Temp was about 85 . This after noon the paint was still a little tacky. Do I have a problem here or just need more time . I still need to spray the clearcoat . Should I wait to spray the clear. I am not sure what to do next. Thanks for any help.

    how many coats did you put on and how thick was each one? did you allow enough flash time between coats?

    basecoat is dry to the touch in 5 min-15 min. if its heavy, an hour tops. like the last guy, im curious how heavy you piled it on there. thats what causes solvent pop. id either wait, or use reducer and wash that stuff off and start over.
