OK Guys, Here are a few PIC's that will show what we did after a visit to the NAPA Dealer and a lot of work hand sanding 400 & 600 grit paper (with water mostly).
While not perfect we attempted to run a test utilizing the "OLD" Vs the NEW Clear.
The Old was the 1st we bought that created the huge Fish Eye effect. After careful study of all areas of the shop we decided it had to be the clear not being compatible with the Red Paint for some odd reason. The Dealer did not then agree....Perhaps now he will see.
The first three PIC's are the brackets ready for the clear coat.
We cleaned the measuring bowl to be rid of any prior matter. Sprayed one of the Alpine Gas Tank Brackets with the 1st Clear we purchased (labeled as old). Immediately the fish eyes (FE) were evident. flipped to the other side and did the same. See 4th and 5th PIC's
Then we repeated the process by cleaning the measuring bowl again free of any foreign matter. Measured out the New Clear, then next sprayed the Alpine gas tank bracket marked (New) and the results were perfect. NO Fish Eye (FE). The last two PIC's depict the results of no FE....
Next we did the trunk lid in the same manner using the New Clear..... Nice finish too!
It is our fault that we did not sand every FE cavity from the Lid. Next we are to try some sort of Fish Eye Remover that is to be added to the clear.
