Yes. I have my party tent booth but moved out of it to the garage without issue until a week ago when this started. Im going back in again. Thank you very much for all the help. Its easier to do something about it when i know what the problem was.

Are you wiping the panel down with some sort of cleaner before spraying?
If so what type of cleaner and how long after wiping with cleaner before you spray?

Yes, with mipa final wash. After wiping i usually drie with compressed air and then wait about a half hour. I have also tried not cleaning, made no difference.

It's werid i keep havs this problem in my party booth tent but only when im spraying primer.

Today im going to get another primer, I'm having too many problems with this one.

Yes, the problem was the primer and the cleaner used for the primer. Switched primer and all my problems went away.

I think something must have happend to the cans during shipping. No matter how i preped, thinned it or sprayed it the pinholes and "dirt" showed up instantly. Nothing with the new 2k acrylic primer.

Worst primer ever. Super soft, you cant wet sand, have to use their cleaner mipa final wash.

The problem with the cleaner was that no matter how well i dryed it there were still residue which later attacked my base.
