Re: respray disaster :(

i agree with KNT - get some good pics up - where are you spraying, what are the conditions like? most likely causes are not cleaning the surfaces well enough before laying primer or paint (small amounts of contamination from sanding water or sweaty hands), not allowing enough time for evaporation be...
