What happened here? How best to fix this? How to ensure this does not happen again?
I primed this model yesterday and got the ugly result seen in these close up photos, about 3" of surface.
I've seen this happen once before. It appears to be static electricity on the surface messing up primer layer.
After sanding I swatted and wiped surface with an old t shirt rag. Then I wiped clean the surface with odorless mineral spirits, also on an old cotton t-shirt rag. I let dry completely before spraying rattle can auto primer. Model was sitting directly on folded up cardboard on my truck tailgate. The cardboard has been used many times for spray painting and has accumulated paint on it.
I'm thinking I got static electricity on the model surface. Perhaps using the cotton cloth rags caused it, or do you have ideas or answers to this mess?
Thanks for any suggestions or advice.
