problems

I have a valve cover I am doing. It has a coating on it. I wire brushed it and blasted it. It looked good so i polished the letters and fins. I cleaned the whole thing with brake clean. Outgassed. Then sprayed the super chrome base. let cook 395 at 15min. after pulling it out i saw a few missed spots of the prior coating. other than that it looked good. so i figured i wanted to see the final product and sprayed the lollypop blue on. When i pulled it out there were fish eyes and little sections that did not take the powder or it pulled away. It looks like dung.

I would like to know a full prep shcedule you use from taking the part in to fished delievery. I need to know what to use to clean the part and then clean off any polishing residue. then clean the part befroe the coatings go on.

Did you shoot the lolly Hot? I have had that a couple of times, but usually it's from oils still left in the substrate. Maybe oil/water in your airline?

I shot the blue cold because of the polished letters and fins. I wiped the powder off with a damp spong. Usually i shot the candies hot at about 150-180.
