* An example of this type of paint challenge, but not necessarily the only representation.

PAINT ISSUE:

milky spots in car paint -OR- paint turned cloudy after spraying -OR- white haze in fresh paint job

PREVENTION:

  • Add recommended amount of retarder in humid conditions.
  • Always use good quality solvents.
  • Apply heat after painting to evaporate moisture if needed.
  • Avoid painting in high humidity or cold/damp weather.
  • Let the panel warm up if you see cloudiness while spraying.
  • Use a slower reducer/thinner.

TO REPAIR:

  • Add retarder and apply additional coats if needed.
  • Apply heat to affected area during/after application if blushing occurs.
  • Heavy: Let dry, sand the cloudy area flat, and repaint.
  • Light: Mist a blush remover or reducer to reflow.
