I might run out to the paint shop tomorrow and get slow reducer. It's supposed to be in the mid to upper 80's here the next few days. Right when I...
It's just water. I snapped this after washing it so I could do another coat. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
The "bubbles" in the pic are water droplets. I had just washed it to prep for another coat. Not the issue. The dry spray was after that. I reshot...
