Description

Metallic particles from the base coat  surface in the clear coat. If severe, the effect can alter the tone and exagerate the metallic appearance.

Origin and Potential Causes:

• · Tack cloth was not used before applying the clear coat.
• · Base coat and clear coat are incompatible.
• · Clear coat was applied with insufficient flash off of the base coat, or was applied too wet.
• · Air pressure was too high.
• · Wrong thinner.
• · A coat of base coat was too dry when the next was applied.
• Prevention Techniques:
   
• · Use tack cloth, if possible.
• · Use recommended products only, with recommended air pressure.
• · Allow proper flash off time of the base coat before applying the clear.
• · Use recommended thinner/reducer.
• · Follow product recommendations in the Technical Data Sheets.
• Remedy

Sanding and refinishing are necessary if the defect is severe.
