Hey Oz

I think Steve E is right, you have some Si contamination - even a whiff
of one of the aerosol lubricants / polishes / car cleaners etc. is
enough to cause great frustration.  The paint withdraws from some places
like lots of miniature craters or fisheyes - right?

Sanding, scuffing etc makes it worse - spreads the silicon and can even
embed it in the material.

There are two solution that I am aware of:

= A sort of "thinners" or cleaner that will remove it in a wipe-down of
the area.  I had limited success with areas that I first tried to clean
by sanding - two or three wipe-downs using a clean paper towel each
time.

= An additive called fish eye suppressor - two teaspoons in the gun
after the paint has been thinned will do the trick.  I had more success
with this.

God luck

Is this the Squirrel getting some paint?
