Blushing

* 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.
