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

PAINT ISSUE:

car paint never fully hardened -OR- fingerprints in new paint -OR- soft paint after curing

PREVENTION:

  • Allow enough flash time between coats.
  • Avoid piling on or double wet coats.
  • Restrict air movement over the surface during drying.
  • Select recommended thinner/reducer for conditions.
  • Spray in moderate temperatures, not too thick.

TO REPAIR:

  • Inspect for pinholes after sanding to distinguish from dust contamination.
  • Sand to remove blisters/pinholes, allow solvents to fully escape, then repaint.
  • Severe popping may require removal and recoating.
