Hi all , I seem to be getting a lot of tiny air bubbles appearing when I apply the clear coat, I am carbon skinning parts , I thoroughly clean and prep the parts, No problems with resin when applying, all seems to go very well , I spend a lot of time wet flatting the parts down and to be fair they look perfect ie nice and even , smooth and no visible signs of any holes or bubbles, I use a heat gun during resin coats making sure all bubbles are gone. I use acetone to clean the parts before clear coats, I really can't see why I am getting so many , although I am fairly new to carbon skinning ,I am not a noob when it comes to car painting ,I've been painting for 25+ years now.
Is there anything i am missing here.
Thankyou.

Warren, what do you mean by plastic primer? Do you mean an adhesion promoter?


Not familiar with that term but sounds similar. Used to prep plastic car panels prior to paint. Basically an etch primer for plastics and it is clear.
I use a couple of different types, one is a Mipa product, not sure if you have that in the States but I can't remember the other. Will have a look today.
