			            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!
