Dirt and dust in clearcoat

Cause

• During application, dirt is attracted to the clearcoat and is trapped in the wet film

• Is seen as dark or light specks depending on the color of the surface

Prevention

• Ensure the spraybooth is clean at all times

• Blow out crevices to ensure all dust is removed at every stage of preparation

• Wear lint free spraysuit

Remedy

• Sanding and polishing will only remove dirt on the surface of the clearcoat

• Otherwise refinishing of the basecoat and clearcoat is required
