Good Morning, I am redoing the plastic on a Honda CRV after cleaning the surfaces and masking off all the paint, I wiped the surface with acetone to degrease the areas. This worked just fine in all but 1% where I got fish eyes in the paint. Left it to dry over night. Any suggestions? Have a great day.

Hi Dave,

We're you one of the guys at my last class that helped to put the Wurth Trim Paint on the Honda CRV in the class? This one,



Wurth Trim Paint
The driver's side trim was damaged on the 2000 Honda CRV so Wurth Trim Paint to the rescue.

I saw the results and why I choose that to do to this Honda. Still have some fish eyes but my mother in law will never see them. Just wonder what todo next time??? It was a great class.

Fish Eyes are the visual indicator of Surface Tension. Most people think Fish Eyes when paint is caused by Silicone and YES silicone can cause Fish Eyes but so can ANYTHING that creates surface tension, for example the margarine you spread on toast at breakfast can cause fish eyes.

So avoiding Fish Eyes is just a matter of getting the surface super clean and free from any pre-existing trim dressing. I'd suggest these options or all of them,


  1. Machine scrubbing with an APC or Engine Degreaser during the wash process
  2. Using Preps-All Wax and Grease Remover - this is what we used in the class you attended.
  3. Washing a second time using an Scotchbrite pad to both scrub and scuff the surface



If anyone, for example the Dealership where the car was sold, had ever used a plastic trim dressing or even an Armor-All type product, anything like this has to be 100% removed to avoid Fish Eyes.

I agree. Great people, lots of cars and lots of hands-on. If you could carve out some time, I would super appreciate it if you could summarize your experience in a post to the pictures and comments thread here,

I have over 400 pictures now documenting what took place in the class and testimonials from the people that actually attended the class are the MOST power form of advertising for our classes.


It was also a genuine pleasure to meet you and work with you and I told my wife about your offer for the suite in the Cayman Islands. :dblthumb2:

i would suggest using a wax and grease remover prior to painting over the acetone. spray it on, let it sit for 30 seconds for the WAG to lift any contaminants,wipe it off. let surface dry for 15 minutes prior to paint.
 
Thanks Mike its not my car. You and I could see the small defects but a 79 year old lady won’t know the difference. I’ll post some before and after pics of my first job.
