sounds like it too cold try putting the can in hot water for a bit MIGHT help

As above, the laquer is blooming in the cold. Try putting it in the oven under VERY low heat That is if its still wet, if its dry then it becomes more of a mission

midges got the better of me!have given it a wet and dry and a good go over with cutting compound,hard to say how much better,bit dark now,if no use will rub it back and start again,but will heat tins up next time,bugger now is no one local has that fancy red paint,seems that dodgy tin was there last

try painting at mid day if your outside, or not in a booth, the damp air in the evenings is probably your problem

I was just going to say it shouldnt bloom in the temps at this time year BUT then i saw you were in scotland!

lol,well stupidly i realise now ive a hot air gun thing in the car,doh,am doing it outside and it did get damp and shitty as normal,lol
will i have to take it right back to the primer if its not right?
i assume it would be worth heating area up with air gun thing before spraying,ok to use it to dry the paint/laquer?
thanks for the info guys,i'll try get it done properly tomorrow

I would use a hair dryer if it was me as the gun might be to much

you should get away with a quick flat off with a scotch pad, clean it off then a quick warm up on the wing I would also have the cans in some hot water ready to go you could then use the hair dryer to keep a LITTLE bit of heat in the wing

Good luck mate

try a hot boiled kettle, pour it over the area, ive used this method in the past for instance if its rained and your left with white spots the next day etc
