Making a gift for my nephew. Spray painted poplar wood in flat white. I applied vinyl and cut the blue layer and spray painted in a satin sheen. In the final cut I apply new vinyl, cut, and apply a yellow satin. However, the vinyl is only pulling alway the blue color. Is this a spray paint sheen specific thing or a timing thing that it needs more time to rest? Any and all help appreciated!

Full cure for most spray paints is 4+ days. Did you wait 4 days before applying the vinyl?
Also i like to apply a coat of water based spray on polyurethane over top paint and let that dry fully before I put Oramask813.
I haven’t had paint peel in me with letting the spray paint dry for 4 days and using the clear coat.

I didn’t wait 4 days but the white paint didn’t chip or peel in the slightest. Thanks for the help!

The blue paint looks very thick, that could be why it peeled up.
Did you sand and prime the board first?

The poplar wood was sanded. Spray painted in flat white x2 and lightly sanded again. And then applied the satin blue paint. I didn’t sand it before applying the yellow. But I’ve done other projects with varying results - timing is probably the biggest factor but some of them are just much more difficult. I’ll have to learn to be patient.
