Did a final sanding. 400 dry. Followed with wax/grease remover. Wipe with clean rag and Waited at least an hour l. High 70s today. Applied paint and it was a horror show , paint didn’t lay out-kinda like a million fish eyes. guessing the WG remover wasn’t really dry. So now more sanding to remove the paint but reluctant to follow with W/G remover. Thinking maybe final clean with a damp cloth , tack it and paint.Good idea or not?

viiking , thanks for that info. It does seem to dry fast so not sure if that’s the culprit. Spraying with an older Graco hvlp system which has worked well. Will try again tomorrow and hopefully have better luck

What type of rag did you wipe it with? You may have been applying some type of contaminate instead of removing it. Every company making refinishing products should have a fish-eye eliminator additive in their lineup.

As the outside temps drop you will get more condensation in your compressor and air lines. Hot air from compressing air cooling down in the air lines. This will also have some oil in it. I run a air chiller to cool the compressed air. Put a disposable moisture trap right before paint gun as a last resort. I would mock up a paint test area and figure it out before shooting your car again.

So did wax and grease remover last night. Did small section at a time and followed immediately with clean cloth and dried the area . Moved along that way drying as I went. This morning went over everything with a tack tag and applied the paint. No issues . I’m glad that’s over.
