I'm absolutely stumped.  I have a pre-painted wing (Fusion) with 
pinholes in the skin and I need to add a trim color but am afraid 
to.  I've tried a couple of rubbing compounds but the pinholes 
appear to still be there.  I think I've tested every filler and 
primer under the sun trying to find one that doesn't attack foam.  
I'm not sure that the pinholes even go all the way through the paint 
and skin but I don't want to risk it.  I have seen the dangers of 
pinhole/paint/foam disasters first-hand and don't want to repeat. 

Generally I don't even paint my sailplanes, but I'm trying to turn 
over a new leaf.  The instructions mention using "Whites Polishing 
Compound" but none of the autobody shops here seem to have heard of 
it.

Any suggestions, as always, are greatly appreciated.
