fisheyes on clearcoat

[John E]

Striperhound,

I have found the same thing in the past when using metallics and gloss paints from spray cans. IMO, these paints have a smooth surface when dry and the E-tex doesn't have anything to grab onto when drying. Try lightly "scuffing" with a scotch pad. You can also keep an eye on the plugs when they're drying and touch up any fish eyes when you see them.

I've had similar problems and even once you do get coverage, the bond is not very good and a few good fish and the clearcoat will start to peel.
