Adhesion Loss, Clear Coat
Loss of adhesion of the clear coat from the base coat
Adhesion Loss, Plastic Parts
Loss of adhesion of the refinish system from a flexible plastic substrate
Adhesion Loss, Polyesters
Loss of adhesion between the polyester filler and the substrate
Bleeding
Original finish color or peroxide hardener from polyester body filler seeping through the topcoat, causing a discoloration of the new finish.
Blistering
Bubbles or pimples appearing in the topcoat application.
6.Chipping
Small chips of a finish losing adhesion from the substrate - usually caused by impact of stones or hard objects against the vehicle's finish.
Clear Coat Yellowing
Discoloration causing the appearance of a color mismatch to the adjacent panel after the clearcoat is applied.
Color Mismatch
The color of the repaired part differs from that originally on the object being painted.
Corrosion
Surface of metal substrate is visible and shows corrosion spots.
Cracking
A series of deep cracks resembling mud cracks in a dry pond. Often in the form of three-legged stars and in no definite pattern.
Dirt Inclusions
A surface with this defect will show particles of different sizes and origin, deposited in the undercoat or topcoat.
Dissolution
Metallic particles from the basecoat surface in the clearcoat. If severe, the effect can alter the tone and exagerate the metallic appearance.
Dry Spray
Granular texture normally with no gloss at all.
Edge Mapping, Shrinkage
The edges of the repair area where the original finish was cut through show after topcoat application due to shrinkage of one or more layers of the system.
Edge Mapping, Solvent Penetration
Enlarged sand scratches caused by swelling action of topcoat solvents, appearing at the area of the repair where it was sanded through to the substrate.
Environmental Contamination
Discolored spots and/or etching marks visible in the topcoat, commonly caused by acid rain or bird droppings.
Fish Eyes
Small, crater-like opening in the finish after it has been applied.
Hiding
When the filler, primer or sealer on the repair area is visible through the topcoat.
Lifting
Surface distortion or shriveling, while the topcoat is being applied or while drying.
Matting
Loss of initial gun gloss after finish has dried.
Mottling
Occurs mainly in metallic paint , when the flakes float together to form a spotty or striped appearance.
Orange Peel
Uneven surface formation - much like that of the skin of an orange. Paint droplets dry before they can flow out and level smoothly together.
Peeling
Loss of adhesion between paint and substrate - topcoat to primer and/or old finish, or primer to substrate.
Pinholing
Tiny holes or groups of holes in the finish, or in putty or primer, the result of trapped solvents, air or moisture or improper surface preparation.
Polishing Marks
Marks or cut-through to the topcoat surface resulting from compounding and/or polishing.
Runs
Heavy application of sprayed material that fails to adhere uniformly to the surface.
Slow Drying
Paint takes a longer time to set up or dry than detailed in the Technical Data Sheet.
Solvent Popping
Blisters on the paint surface caused by trapped solvents in the topcoats or primer-surfacer.
Water Spotting
General dulling of gloss in spots or masses of spots.
