after base and woodgraining, went to clear coat, but was still tacky, plus one of the molding decided to hit the floor, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

That looks really awesome! Just curious, do you always use those dust masks while painting? I've always used a respirator.

A dust mask is not the safe way to be painting.
I can't believe someone would do that, then take pictures, then post them.

If it is 2 part catalyzed enamel the isocyonates will settle in the lungs... VERY VERY BAD.
A dust mask is not good for any type of paint fumes... if you can smell paint... NOT GOOD!
I have been painting since I was 8-9 first thing was a horse trailer, I have not always used a respirator (young and invincible) however I do not sand etc anything without wearing an activated charcoal respirator. I now use a forced fresh air supply when I spray catalyzed paint.
