Got a heat gun on the blush and it helped a little when sanding .
I think my only choice is to sand it back and give it a colour coat , then clear coat it when there is low humidy or find some of this blush remover spray.

So there is hope for one skirt , the other one had hectic cloudy spots which are sanded down but needs a coat of red where I rubbed through the clear and red.

However one skirt only has a few spots , I read on the net that I should wet sand with 1500 then buff . That should remove it, so see how I go ,

Hahahahaha you worry so much man it's funny. You gotta let acrylic dry for afew days man then once it's fully dried, wet it and hit it with some 1500 wet and dry then yeah as you said buff it and it will come up nice. You should of sprayed it with 2pac would of been done by now and ready to use.lmaoo next time you know bro.

My not so smart friend did his subaru in a temporary carport, no mask or anything and he was extreemly ill afterwards, lets just say he was bleeding from places you dont want to bleed from.

Was reading on just commodores and a guy painted using 2pac , he was saying that his legs were all itchy and eyes burning .

Besides resistances to chips,scratches and its harder what's the difference between 2pac and arcrylic .
I wonder what my car was resprayed with when I had damaged fixed ?

Acrylic dries by the evaporation of thinners in the paint.
2Pack dried by the combination of eveaporating thinners and a chemical reaction between the paint and the catalyst.

Your car would have been sprayed in 2Pack as it suits a workshop enviroment (less time and effort) though you need to be a little more skilled to use it as it generally relies on a good to perfect finnish "off the gun".

2Pack is generally more resistant to scratches, chips fading and is more flexable too.
Although it is far superior in nearly all attributes, it isnt suited to the novice painter who isnt set up for it (needs a good downdraft booth, good equipment and more prep work.
It also contains isocyanates, which if you look at the word it is basically cyanide.

Yeah, pretty well.
Never really gets to that "perfect" finnish that 2Pack has, But you can get it pretty damn close.

Just wait until it sets fully and sand it through from 1000 to 2000 completely flat (no dimples or debris on the paint) buff with wool and water rubbing compound then buff with a black waffle pad and fine cut or swirl remover grade compound finnish with some good quality wax (after a month or two). Thats as close as you will get.

yeah i know tell me about it... i didnt know it was a safety hazard i thought paint was paint.only reason i did it with him was becasue he said he'll do it in the oven so i stuck with that.man we put it in there 2 hours before any paint tuched it, and as soon as paint touched it it was dry lol cooked the bastards before hand it was really like an oven in that thing. we only stuffed around with the rear skirt because there was a little run under neath (wouldnt of even seen if it was fitted on the car) but him being fussy we had to fix it up so that involved alittle sanding. but thats about it
