Hi
Newb here!
I bought some xht black spray paint to turn my stainless steel exhaust tips to gloss black https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tech-XHT001-Extremely-Temperature-Caliper/dp/B007AFDCG2
I scuffed up the tips with 600 grit by hand and used a degreaser then applied 4 coats of the stuff then baked it in the oven for 1 hour at 160c.
I went to wipe it down the next day with a panel degreaser and noticed it started rubbing off slightly so had to give it another scuff and 2 coats and baked it again https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/u-po...pYDnh_gpSCYXpDLAeNaUzrmqfFM_2laMaAqqSEALw_wcB
I then proceeded to apply a gloss clear coat, however immediately got these white spots all over - see pic
I’m confused about what happened but my only guess is that I didn’t let the black dry enough which resulted in the solvents getting trapped and then reacting?
I did sand them down with some 3000 and then proceeded to polish with a fine polish and ended up with black paint on my pads so thought that’s it and ended up using that same panel wipe to remove all of the paint and it’s back to bare metal so have come here for advice on the best way forward.
Thanks in advance!
