email me a pic or too and will try and help
Well, the part i dont understand is why it only did it on the front and top, and not on the sides and back? I mean, the sides and back look fucking wet man..... if i mixed something wrong wouldnt it be all over? Also, i painted it outside in the driveway, would it have anything to do with the sun? Im no professional painter, so these might be stupid questions. :happysad:Originally posted by 61 Impala on 3@Sep 26 2006, 10:53 AM~6246753
It was probably caused by a really large sag or run in the clear. I have seen that happen in the clear before in or near runs.
So you probably didn't have enough flash time between coats
or the clear was over reduced
or you did not have enough hardner
Been there before........many times over.
Are you going to try to fix it?
The clear was some 5 year old PPG Del Glo DAU that i had left over and i mixed it with some Omni fast hardner.... 1 part clear, 1 part hardner, and i added maybe an inch of reducer into the mixing cup. This was all shit i just had laying around..... but why is it only on the front and top, and the sides and back show no signs of it whatsoever?Originally posted by show-bound@Sep 26 2006, 11:16 AM~6246850
DID YOU USE OMNI OR SELECT??
THOSE BUBBLES ARE FROM RUN SAGS....TOO MUCH CLEAR, TOO FAST!

ALL THE AFFECTED CLEAR HAS TO COME OFF...SPOT BASE IT THEN RECLEAR OVERALL.... 24 SO YOU DONT HALF TO SCUFF UP EVERYTHING AGAIN YOU CAN JUST SHOOT AFTER FIXING MESSED UP PART...Originally posted by JasonJ@Sep 26 2006, 11:31 AM~6246950
But it looks like that where there is no sag or run... look at the front of the cylinder head in the pic..... the camera flash caught it at the right angle and what looks like miniflake..... thats all air bubbles.... but theres no run there.... same thing on the top of the intake manifold.
But no matter what caused it..... you said i have to sand it down within the first 24 hours? Ugggh....

Yea, the front and top were getting the sun.... you can tell by the shadows in this pic. Maybe thats what happened? I let it sit just like this for about an hour after i was done before pushing it into the garage.Originally posted by show-bound+Sep 26 2006, 11:40 AM~6247023-->Ahhhh, i understand what you mean now.ALL THE AFFECTED CLEAR HAS TO COME OFF...SPOT BASE IT THEN RECLEAR OVERALL.... 24 SO YOU DONT HALF TO SCUFF UP EVERYTHING AGAIN YOU CAN JUST SHOOT AFTER FIXING MESSED UP PART...
