Bleeding
Cause
- Solvent in the new topcoat dissolves soluble dyes or pigments in the original finish, allowing them to seep into and discolor the new topcoat.
Repair
- Allow color to cure, isolate with two component undercoat(s) and refinish or remove original paint film and refinish.
Prevention
- Isolate suspected bleeding finish by applying a two component surfacer and/or sealer. Allow to cure following product recommendations, then apply desired topcoat.
