Cloudy Spots on SSR Paint

Good news for owners with spots on paint under bras after getting wet and then the bra drying out from hood heat and or heat from the sun creating cloudy paint.
The owner with the Black SSR was right on using a heat gun on his spots. My SSR is Aqua Blur and had 3 cloudy spots, two about 3 in in diameter one about 1 in by 3 in long. As explained to me by a painter, when the clear coat gets real hot the pours open up and trapped water absorbs in the clear coat and presto a cloudy spot appears in the paint.
I tried a hair dryer and it worked to a point, after about 20 min the spot did get more transparent but never left completely even putting the dryer within a quarter inch from the paint so I located a small commercial heat gun, a little larger then a hair dryer in size but a whole lot hotter. I put my hand on the paint and held the gun about 6 to 8 inches away for a test and it was hot, hot, so thats where I started moving the gun slowly all around the spots, and it didnt take 5 min or so and it started to clear up, another few min and the spots were gone. the paint has to get pretty hot and I suspect you could blister it easily, in touching the paint it was so hot I didnt want to hold my finger there but a second or two, but with caution it does work for sure.
Good Luck Seattle Terry At westseattleterry@comcast.net
