thinned 2k basecoat with cellolose help

[allkarma]

Bought paint thinking it was cellolose so I thinned with high gloss cellolose thinner, sprayed onto the car and now its clear and the paint was 2k basecoat not cellolose as it has dried to a matt finish. What I resprayed on the car is viper stripes, so initially I have not resprayed the whole car with this paint, was thinking is there a way of rectifying this? Can I spray 2k HS clear coat on top? Help ASAP as I am at the garage now!

Base coat does dry with a matt finish. This enables the clear top coat to adhere to it properly. Needs to be clear coated within a couple of hours of spraying base though.

I am clear about the properties of basecoat but the main concern is that i've mixed two 2K basecoat with cellulose thinner not 2K thinner. More concerned about the chemical reaction?

 

[Engineer]

You can spray 2K solvents over cellulose no problem. But its probably going to be a better idea to start again, as unless you have clear coated before the base coat is fully cured, the clear coat may not adhere properly.

Engineer, I think you've got it wrong, he said he thinned the paint with celly. Allkarma, you should be fine, but you must clearcoat soon after applying your basecoat. Probably worth scotching the area, then re-applying your basecoat, then clear. But it should be ok, if it mixed ok in the pot, then I'd say it'll be fine.

will probably be fine , ive mixed it with allsorts before now

worst thing is if its all wrong it sprays like hammerite , so if the metalics are laying down as you would expect i recon it will be fine
