I'll start off by saying that I'm not a painter. Also - I don't have an ideal painting area - gravel/dirt floor and unheated metal building. John Deere paint and thinner. Pressure pot sprayer.
It was hovering around 65F degrees yesterday, but the humidity was pretty high - it even sprinkled a few times during the day. Most of the paint dried looking pretty good - nice coverage and shine - but the last pot I sprayed dried with a "frosty" look in some areas. There's a couple of pics that show it if you look close - on the edges of bolt heads, the belt pulley, and the oil cap. Everything had a nice wet shine last night. Small parts looked real good this morning.
The concrete was sweating when I opened up the shop this morning.
What do you think caused this "frosty" look?
I think I can just re-coat it under better conditions - what do you think?
