Ghosting

* An example of this type of paint challenge, but not necessarily the only representation.
PAINT ISSUE:
ghost lines in car paint -OR- old repair showing through paint -OR- shadow marks under new paint
PREVENTION:
- Allow all coats full flash and cure times before exposure to cold or moisture.
- Apply clear or topcoat in thin, even coats; do not pile on heavy coats in humid weather.
- Avoid painting during periods of very high humidity; wait for better conditions or use booth dehumidifier.
- Use only the recommended hardener and thinner for the temperature and humidity.
TO REPAIR:
- For light cases, polish out haze or streaks after full cure.
- For severe bloom, sand affected area and reapply clear/topcoat.
- If gloss does not return, wet sand with 2000 grit and re-polish.
