Thread: streaks in silver paint

Tweet

Sounds like your base coat may of not been dry and its being reflowed by the clear .
Usually happens on the Horizontal panels before the side panels .
Or you had tiger stripes in the side panels before the clear & they didnt appear till you got clear on it .

I usually cross hatch my silvers & high metallics to help prevent tiger stripes , plus my Iwata LPH 400 LV makes for easy spraying of difficult colors

Take it out in the sun and see if they disappear , as if your not using 98% daylight bulbs to paint in the old style Florissant lights will pull some odd stuff out that normal sun light wont show .

thanks for the input- base coat was air dry 24 hours, but I didn't cross hatch the silver enough --I'll wet sand and try again --any other suggestions would be helpful -- thanx
