I am painting rigid plastic. It's not very flexible, but it does bend easily if force is applied. So I had the "Flex" additive put in. I don't know if this is an application or drying problem, but after two hours I went to touch the surface, and it came off like a powder. Even on the overspray areas of the newspaper I laid down, I would wipe my finger and it would be powdery. |

No, in fact flex is never added to the basecoat at all, just the clearcoat. |

I sprayed my fender about 60 days or so ago and my hand left an impression in the paint when I leaned on it today. Shouldn't it be fully cured by now? |

No clear coat. Ordered a quart of paint-sanded it off and repainted my car. Having the same problem. I laid a blanket over it the other day and the blanket made an impression in the paint. Painted 60 days ago. No clear coat either. Both paints were one step. |

Once the paint is dry to the touch, it needs to be clearcoated which will firm up the paint. Try this on a scrap piece of material and see if this solves the problem. |

Wish someone would have told me that before I sprayed my entire car. Even the spraycan needed clearcoat? Whats the "one step" mean then? |

What did you mean by "one step". Also, are directions I hope are pretty clear about needing clearcoat. ( |

Please substitute "one step" in my posts with Single Stage: |

What exactly did you paint over? What type of primer? What was underneath the primer? Sounds like perhaps some sort of incompatibility problem. |
