Dissolution

Description : Metallic particles from the basecoat surface in the
clearcoat. 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 clearcoat
    » Basecoat and clearcoat are incompatible
    » Clearcoat was applied with insufficient flash-off of the basecoat, or was applied too wet
    » Air pressure was too high
    » Wrong thinner
    » A coat of basecoat 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 basecoat 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.
