Take some 800grt paper wet and sand the whole truck to get that dry spray off and re-seal it. But make sure your air pressure and your gun are set-up right. Most of the time if you get a dry spray you are either too far away from the panel and the paint is atomizing and drying before it hits the panel or your air pressure is too high or tip pressure is too low. I'll tell ya this DON'T BE CHEEP OR SLOPPY WITH THE SEALER BECAUSE IT WILL SHOW WHEN YOU PAINT IT! You cant build a house without a good foundation and you cant get a good paint job without great prep. Also don't ever put compound on sealer it will soak in and hide in there and when you put paint on it will jump out and fuck you up.

I talked to a guy at a paint shop yesterday and he said the same thing about putting compund on sealer. So I probably just leave the way it is until my next body mod and just reseal the whole truck.

what so called "sealer" are u using... if your using a non sanding sealer designed for topcoating, ur wasting money. id use an epoxy if u plan on leaving it for time to time. and u do have to sand it every time u apply more.

Yeah epoxy would be the way to go especially if you want a nice semi gloss black. May be cheaper for you as well. You can get 2 sprayable gallons from SPI for under 150, that should last you up until you're ready for some color. I understand youve already comitted to whatever you used but maybe next time.
