Paint repelled by contaminant forms craters like depressions with relief edges. Inspection with lens may reveal a small impurity at the base.

- Incorrect use of antistatic cleaning cloths that can contaminate the substrate.
- The spray booth and/or the substrate are contaminated with silicone.
- Contaminated compressed air (presence of water, oil,grease, wax).
- Solvent contaminated spray gun when using water-borne products

Allow the film to harden:
- Remove by sanding the affected paint, clean accurately and re-spray.
- If the paint still forms craters, add a specific anti-silicone to it.

- Clean and degrease the substrate thoroughly before spraying the nex coat, using specific ANTI-SILICONE solvent. Remove the solvent with clean cloths before it can dry.
- Check the spray booth filters and the oil/water separator and drain if necessary.
- Alwais check the surface before spraying next coats; if necessary operate as indicated above.
- Use only spray equipments perfectly clean.
- Don’t use products containing silicone in the spray booth.
- Clean with suitable solvents and allow spray guns to dry when using water-borne products.
