Sorry to burst your bubble (pun intended ).

Car came out great regardless though.
Yeah we know we have been trying a few different things to see if we can stop it..

We know everyone says it can't be done but we are going to try a few different things. If we find away to do I sure will be the first to post the how to .lol

Looks good!! Lots of time and effort looks like it has paid off!

Quick note (good friend of mine does custom show cars and told me to NEVER wet sand a car when its in primer since it can absorb the water and cause issues later down the road...Dry sand when its in primer and sealer and wet sand only when it has clear on it...)

Obviously your friend does not shoot waterborne paints...

Either way the OP car looks great I was just passing on something I was told...he can certainly take it or leave it...

I don't know what he shoots as I am not a painter... he has just told me before that he never wet sands ANY primer.... From his work he must know a little bit about what he is doing
