Yes, absolutely. I've done it multiple times (I checked with Rusto support before I tried this the first time and they said it was fine). However, you lose the ability to sand the primer in between, so it's harder to achieve a very smooth final finish. Also, I want to limit total number of coats applied in a session, probably wouldn't want to go above four. Seems to invite trouble if you apply too much paint at once.So with paints that play well together (I.e., not mixing enamel and lacquer), the instructions say recoat within one hour or wait 24 to 48 hours. Can you mix primers and colors in that 1 hour window?
1 hour window start upon application of the first coat; what you've written there is over 2 hours worth of painting. Typical recoat time is approximately 10-20 minutes I would say. These days I target 10 minutes, which gets me finished within about 1/2 hour.E.g,, hit with primer, 45 minutes later second primer, 45 minute later base color, 45 minutes later perhaps a shade?
Okay, so clock starts from first coat, doesn't restart with each NEW coatYes, absolutely.

I know I need one......hahahahah
Well, the first rebuild happened back around Dec 2019. I just looked back at that thread and I was having problems with the paint on it then. I fought with it and fought but then just flew it like it was. That was the last time CWF was applied in that area.
I scrapped and sanded the area today. I also applied the poly acrylic but that didn't really go on very smooth. I sanded it down and am ready to try some primer but I ran out yesterday. I'll get more tomorrow but I'm not sure there will be much of a difference. I may have sanded all the poly off.
I just don't get why it is still doing this...
