Enamel paint question
Posted by JailCop on Monday, October 10, 2011 3:04 PM

Hey guys, I'm using a brush and testors enamels to paint a car, and I keep getting small air bubbles on the car.  What can I do to stop this?

A little additional thinning might help as well.

It can also be that the paint isn't reacting well to the thinner, which causes separation, and a slight bubble effect.  Check too that the surface of the car doesn't have release agent on it (basically, wash the surface).  It can be that this causes the paint to bubble up slightly too.
