Tom,
Can you send me a picture? Better yet, Elizabethtown isn't that far away, could you bring the car up?

It could be numerous things, but your right, the most suspect is improper surface prep. Highly unusual for/from SPF though.

What the earlier conversation consisted of was mold release agent(s). A fiberglass mold receives massive amount of waxing prior to being used. Once the body/parts are pulled they should be cleaned of any mold release agent prior to any sanding at all! We will normally use acetone.

Failure to clean prior to sanding can and will actually heat up any left over agent and now with the fiberglass pores open, will force this heated wax deep into the glass. It IS just one possible reason for the problem you describe.

Another possibility is nothing more than water (humidity) coming out of the spray gun during the painting process.

If you're lucky, a simple wet sanding with 800 or 1000 grit and a new buff job could bring her right back up to par.

Let me know if I can help.
