![]() ![]() * Gel type deodorant flaking off and falling onto surface. *Worn piston rings in compressor allowing blow-by in to the supply. I googled the subject and came up with some strange possibilities including the Armor-All suggestions here. Between the 2 attempts, I have switched air hoses, paint guns and fully drained the air compressor. I sprayed the first batch and got a worse reaction than the second time. This fisheye problem is a new one, exclusive to these 2 batches of Shopline paint. I have the disposable bubble type water trap at the gun. Re: Fisheyes in paint but not in the primer. If the Shopline has fisheyes and the Omni does not, at least we can narrow it down to the paint being the problem.Īnyone have a helpful suggestion? Thanks! I'm suggesting we spray one side with Shopline and the other with some leftover Omni paint I have here. The next test is to spray the hood with primer following with paint.NO sanding or tack rags. We have tried isolating issues like using different paint guns, cleaning the gun with reducer instead of acetone, I wear latex gloves after washing the car to avoid skin oil contamination. Plastic sheeting on the walls and ceiling to minimize dust. Tack rags? Airborne specs or silicones? The actual paint itself? I'm spraying in an enclosed garage with box fans to extract the fumes. My friend and I have been wracking our brains trying to determine the root cause. Maybe primer is more resistant to fisheyes? I don't know if this is what is causing my problem though. ![]() It seems that most gel type deodorants have a component that can cause fisheyes. I googled "Fisheyes in paint: Causes" and one strange cause is deodorant. I mixed more paint, THIS time a different color, (Still Shopline brand) and got more fisheyes in random areas. It laid down clean everywhere, though I had a few rough finish areas and had to sand them smooth before applying paint. I sanded the car and laid down some primer sealer. I laid down a coat last weekend and had random fisheyes in several areas. ![]() I'm painting a 64 Valiant for a friend and he bought Shopline paint. ![]()
