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.
