Ok, now that I have pin hole free parts I now have another what seems insurmountable problem.
No matter what I have done I cannot get the clear to laydown without small craters in the outer surface of the clear. I am talking very, very small ones.
Here is what I have done.(and by the way I have been spraying clearcoat for years so I know how to do it, its just carbon panels that give me the problems)
1. Wash with soap and water - scuff with 600 or 400 wet and dry paper - wipe with prime wash - spray. (pits)
2. Wipe with alcohol -scotch brite with grey ultra fine - wipe with 99.9% pure alcohol. (pits)
3. Scuffed as above - eliminated my spray equipment and sprayed clear with a spray bomb. (pits)
4. Heated the part and spray bomb - sprayed fog coats - let flash well- built up to shiney. (pits)
5. Scuffed with "OLD DUTCH CLEANER" - sprayed with rattle can. (pits)
What the is going on!!!!! This is the pits!
Are you guys not getting these surface bleamishes ????????
The only thing that I can think of is that the carbon fiber is conductive of electricity or I am dealing with electrostatic repulsion.
I know that you cannot spray a plastic bumper without eliminating the electrostic fields.
Thanks for any help on this. Hopefully the Easy Composites Staff can clear this up! Get It? Clear this up!
