Bleeding

BLEEDING (Discoloration)

A Red or Yellow discoloration in the topcoat color. _________________________________________________________________________ CAUSE (A) 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 (1) Allow color to cure, isolate with two component undercoat(s) and refinish. (2) Or, remove original paint film and refinish. PREVENTION (A) Isolate suspected bleeding finish by applying a two component surfacer and/or sealer. Allow to cure following product recommendations, then apply desired topcoat.
