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.
