ok so i used duplicolor chrysler pearl black and clear to paint my dash parts the past few days its been hitting like 100 i came out thurs and the paint (clear) started to get little bubbles in it , only area is the top of the dash where i painted. So fri i put a rag on top of the dash and when i came out the rag was actually stuck to the paint.Now its been dry for like 3 weeks and i have to park in the sun at work no choice so any help would be great should i just light sand it and reapply the clear or should i use a better clear never had this prob before and i see all the other gys that have panted theres not saying they are having problems

My guess is the oils from the plastic are coming out from the heat. They use the oils in the forms so the plastic dosent stick. About the only thing you can do is strip it down to the plastic, re-scuff with a scotch Brite pad, and clean the hell out of it with rubbing alcohol. Then use a adhesion promoter and let all you coats cure properly. Oh and try and do this on a day that isent really humid and not 100 deg. Oil based paints can't cure when it's that hot. Good luck!

I suppose to keep it from getting worse you could put one of those windshield sun blocker things in it when at work.

Of course I am not responsible if anything would go wrong

I used this on the dash of my 94 Viper.
