As a lot of us Sooby guys do....I decided to paint my wheels this weekend. I also painted my hood scoop (i'm buying a larger sti one anyhow)

Materials:
Sand block 320
Duplicolor Wheel Paint (graphite)
Duplicolor Wheel Clearcoat
Acetone
Masking Tape
Plastic

Procedure:
Prep:
Clean, scuff up, clean, acetone
Paint:
first layer (light), wait 10, second layer, wait 10, rinse & repeat....

I figured that it couldn't be too hard...I used to spray bed liners for trucks
Apparently, I needed to be an apprentice a bit longer....

I think the humidity (Florida) caused the problem but the one wheel I painted and the hood scoop are uneven as hell, and looks like little tiny beads all over....

Help!
Suggestions?
how to fix...?

No painters around huh? Come on!!

 

You are correct, the humidity was a problem and there is no solution. Wait until the winter, or find someone with an air-conditioned garage or warehouse to do your painting. The paint is water-based and will react that way to a high-humidity environment. The auto paint I've used recommended 30% or less humidity for painting.

The only solution is to re-sand it again, you can't repair a bubbled surface.

Also, use primer. "Primer sticks to the surface, paint sticks to primer."

 

not much of a winter here (central florida) but I will keep the advise in mind.....thank you
