Base coat getting white areas:
I had two calls yesterday where painters were shooting base coat both very high-grade bases and they were getting white areas from 2- inch to 18-inch streaks. Both places said been raining non-stop.
As this is not real common with base coats like it was in the lacquer days it can happen and neither painter has had this happen before.
The fix is simple, use a slow reducer and do not hammer the base on, a medium coat will work best.
Also, more flash time between coats in the 30 to 45 minute range will also help to solve the problem.
The one painter had a bake booth so told him to also turn on heat to get rid of the humidity
