Leighp,
Mate, you fears are looking accurate to me, it doesn't sound good.
I have written a tech article about spary painting acrylic on my site. Look under "Technical Info" from my main page.
http://users.chariot.net.au/~stmezz/celica.htm
A few points you need to know about acrylic. I usally mix around 70% thinners and 30% paint, so its thinned right out. This allows you to apply a nice wet coat to give a high gloss.
See my TA22 GT, (Simons Celica), I sprayed that beast in my garage.
You need a compressor of 8cfm minimum and idealy 10cfm to keep up enough air pressure. You should use a 1 litre pot, 2mm tip and around 300kpa air pressure for acrylic.
Each coat will dry in literally seconds. It should be touch dry in 2 or 3 minutes. Apply each coat within a few minutes.
After its done it will be dry quickly but you need to give it a few weeks to cure properly.
Make sure you are using acrylic lacquer paint and acrylic lacquer thinners otherwise it will not be good. I usually use PGP products which used to be Dulux. Very good paint in my opinion.
A complete car will use between 4 and 6 litres of paint and around 20 litres of thinners.
If it hasn't dried in a week, I would strip all the paint off and start again. Painting over that won't last. The minimum temperature you should paint at is around 18 C, below that and it will dry with a frosted dull affect. Max temp should be around 28 C, over that and the paint will dry too quickly. Also, don't paint in direct sunlight, it makes the panels too hot and paint dries to quick that way.
Good luck,
Simon
