I recently switched to SPI. We have been restoring a camaro for about 5 years now. Done some jobs between being tired and hitting walls. Anyway, we went to a new clear after the custom deep blue and rally stripes are on and the clear went on nice. Two days later it orange peeled up and is one of those clears it seems you have 3 days to buff and it gets too hard to work anymore. Sanded it all off, went back to our Custom Shop clear we used on a jeep we did a metal flake job on, but they sent us a gallon of clear, then a quart of clear labeled as hardener. So all of that had to come off with alcohol. Let the base set a few days, scuffed it back down, put the SPI sealer on and a few runs the base really got soft. It was like using bondo red spot putty ruining the job. Got that back down, need to use some more icing to straighten things up again, but really dont know if this is gonna keep happening or those few runs are telling me I am gonna have more issues.
Dont know which way to go now. Most of the car is ok other than the few run spots. Dont know if going with the filler primer first would be a better idea than just putting sealer back on. I figured sealer would stop whatever else is happening under it from effecting the basecoat.
Tired of this woulda coulda shoulda and another season of getting this car out on the road. We were dont and onto assembly until that clear orange peeled up, but looking to figure out the best way to handle this without getting back into too much of the filler.
