    Default fathers idiocy

    gday fellas....
    whilst my dad was spraying up the bonnet...he had mistaken the flexiprime for the hardener......
    the paint seems to have dried...

    what happens now?
    what will happen if i spray color over it?
    do we have to sand it right back and start again??

    try scratching off a corner but i would guess that yes you need to strip it.
    a 2pak would not have chemically cured like they are designed to.

    The hardner is needed and the flexi is not. - I would strip it back if you want the paint to look good in a few years time.

    The Flexi is just that - a product to keep the paint softer.
