The trunk jambs on my caddy are giving me hell tonight, it looks like fisheye everywhere. I degreased it 3 times before I started spraying so it was clean. Im using Diamont basecoat and I reduced it a couple of months ago when I did my door jambs, would that cause this?

i've had that happen before, looks like the degreaser wasn't all the way dry and gone in the channel. just my 2 cents

I Meant to say wax and grease remover, and I used a tack rag. And that is three coats of base because after I sprayed my first coat and it fisheyed I just kept going to see if it would even try to cover.

I've been painting off and on for 4 years I've just never had this happen before, the doorjambs went great on this car

I ALWAYS USE SANDFIX ON MY DOOR JAMS WITH A SCOTCH BRITE. BY GLASSURIT ITS A SANDING PASTE WITH ACIDS SO IT CLEANS THEM PRETTY GOOD THEN I SAND THEM WITH 600 GRIT SAND PAPER. THEN CLEAN THEM WITH 909 PREP CLEANER ,LOOKS LIKE U HAD CONTAMINATION IN THE JAMS I WOULD JUST THROW SOME FISH EYE ELIMINATOR IN A LITTLE BIT OF PAINT AND MIST IT ON THE JAMS NOT WET ON WET.

I USED TO CLEAN ALL MY CARS WITH THINNER BUT ITS ALL IN THE PREPARATION NOW.

I got it fixed this morning, I rubbed the entire section down with thinner and resanded for the third time. One place fisheyed but I was able to bridge it, I'll post pics soon as I clear it.
