What do lifting and hazing look like?
What are lifting and hazing?
Lifting and hazing refer to defects where the base coat color is transferred into the top coat, or the top coat loses its gloss and transparency. This is usually caused by incomplete drying of the base coat.
What causes lifting and hazing?
Cause analysis: Increase the preheating temperature, reduce the amount of water added to the base coat, and decrease the thickness of the base coat. This helps determine whether the issue is due to preheating or base coat thickness.
How to resolve lifting and hazing?
Solution: Increase the preheating temperature, reduce the water added to the base coat, and decrease the thickness of the base coat. If the problem persists, you can add 10%–20% fast-drying thinner to both the base coat and the top coat.
