Clouding or Mottling
Uneven color or poor metallic effect is caused by sprayed paint being of varying thickness, and the silver particles are poorly distributed.
Cause:
-
Insufficient mixing of the paint.
-
Wrong type of thinner or poorly dissolving thinner.
-
Improper spray viscosity.
-
Uneven spray coat thickness and poor spraying technique.
-
Insufficient drying time.
-
Too thick or too wet spraying.
-
Incorrect application temperature.
Correction:
-
Spray additional layers of paint using the correct technique to cover the defects.
-
Sand and respray once the defective surface is completely dry.
