cant get nothing to stick to ultra chrome

[eye candy powder coating]

i have been trying to do 2 coat applications for some time now. at first i thought my gun was not good enough or i did not have a good enough ground. i have been trying to shoot black chrome and transparent red over ultra chrome. both the red and the black chrome hits the steel gas tank or what ever and just slides right down the side and on to the floor. i have tried hot flocking with mixed results. on intricate pieces its hard to get even coverage.

yesterday for the first time i shot supper wet black. when it came out of the oven i was not happy with the coverage, so after it cooled back down to room temp i shot a second coat (what could it hurt) to my surprise it went on evenly and looked great. just for laughs i tried a third and fourth coat it went on perfect every time.

so now i tried to duplicate this result with the chrome and black chrome, but it turned out just like before. the black just hit the part and slid right to the floor.

what gives?
anyone else had trouble with a second coat over ultra chrome?

i know this has been done to death i used the search function but could not find the answer to my particular problem. so please can some one help a brother out and educate me.

thanks

A lot of people have issues with that combination (candy over Chrome).... doesn't seem to matter which chrome powder used either. I would try shooting some more chrome over the chrome and see what it does as well....

This is one of those cases where you have to be VERY attentive to detail and MAKE a new BARE spot to use a NEW hook to hang the part and usually that will cure the problem.

Bare Spot, NEW Hook, Check Ground a bunch. - -- - - -

Also - DO NOT blow the parts with compressed air. If you do, put them in the oven for about 10 minutes to heat them up and discharge all the static you built up blowing air across them.... Do not wipe them do not blow air on them.... once they're coated and cured, these things create static to the Nth power, very quickly and will cause the problems you are experiencing.
