Excess zirconium drying on parts Make sure parts are rinsed thoroughly
Maintain bath concentration per
Improper zirconium concentration Product Data Bulletin or SOP
Drag down of alkaline material or Protect conveyor and check over-spray from
cleaner from conveyor first stage
Adhesion Failure (peeling, flaking) Clean all contaminates like water, oil, soap and soils from substrate/primer – Over
or under cure of paint – Incompatible primers with topcoats
Bleeding Check for soluble pigment finish – Wash all equipment when changing colors –
Avoid overspray from adjacent application
Blistering (bubbling, pimpling) Oil and water supply – Insufficient flash times between coats – Too fast
evaporating/poor solvents – Dry spray of film
Blushing (milkiness, white area) Condensation of moisture on film from fast solvents – Fouled air supply in oven –
Reduce atomizing air spray to avoid cooling
Checking (crazing, alligatoring) Excessive paint films – Improper cure – Repaint over soft uncured paint –
Improper thinning techniques and selection
Dirt Straining of paint – Paint lines, conveyor cleaning – Filters, fans, air balance in
booths and ovens – Lint clothing, tacking
Fisheyes (poor wetting, cratering) Surface contamination – Clean surfaces thoroughly before coating
Mottling (blotching, dappling) Too slow evaporating solvent – High viscosity – Atomizing air pressure low – Gun
distance too close – Too wet a finish coat
Orange Peel Too fast solvent – High viscosity – Atomizing air pressure low – Gun distance too
far from unit – Rough unsanded primer
Off-Color (mismatch) Container settling, low film build, hiding, power, dry spray, pigment float – Use of
catalyst and type – Spray method on metallics
Overspray Cratering (pinhole) Contamination on undercoat before painting – Unbalanced spray booth –
Incompatible spray from another paint or pouring together
Sags or Runs Too much reducer – Heavy paint films – Air atomizing pressure low – Short flash
time – Gun distance too close – Fluid delivery high
Low Gloss Film thickness low – Overbake of paint – Lack of fresh air in oven – High oven
temperature – Incompatible paint applied over different one
Soft Paint Alkali residue on parts – Low oven temperature – Too much film build – Amount
of catalyst added – Too short total time in oven – Received paint from supplier
Seed Condition Moisture, oil, or other incompatible products mixed together – Storage stability of
paint – Excessive shear in pumps – Low film
Solvent Pop (solvent trap, rupture) Too heavy film – More flash time – Too much overlap in spray method – Use
slower reducing solvent – Lower temperature in first oven zone
6
Wrinkling (crinkling, puckering) Avoid very thick films – Slow drying air dry paints or storing in hot sun while
drying – Fouled ovens – Use of lacquer thinner with enamel
Preventative Maintenance
Overflows Improper level controls Check for proper overflows and tank
Solution Levels solution levels
Check feed equipment
