Paint experts!! What happened?

[Z06killinsbf]

Painted my truck Saturday. It got rained on Monday night and as of yesterday, the driverside bed and door look like this. The clear is still there and evertthing is smooth an shiny. It's like the silver was washed away some how. Its a BC/CC and was (I thought) cured. Ideas?

Not cured?

I'm no expert, but it looks like the clear may have had too much hardener in it.

Clear has a "sand able in 24 hrs"

Looks like some kind of chemical reaction. Are you sure nothing else got on the truck?

[Z06killinsbf]

Why did it do it AFTER it rained and only in that one spot when everything was shot together.?

That's what I was thinking but it only did it on the one side and it looks like water spots.

Was that the side facing the sun after it rained?

That sucks when i sprayed mine i had something like that happen to me. The reason was i washed it to get all the dust off and ended up using a rag with wax on it.

Did you prep that side different in any way? did you happen to be on that side of the truck using some kind of aerosol can around the shop before you painted it?

That side was facing the yard when it rained. Nothing was done weird or different than the rest of the truck. It still had water on it when I noticed it. Today is the first day it has seen actual sun and not over cast sky's.

Could have flashed on you. Just let it set for a few days and then scuff it and reshoot it and clear it. Sometimes the reducer can act up.

Is it ruff? If so then it moisture, rain. If it's smooth and not foggy then its an easy fix.

Ya, it's smooth as glass. I'm dissatisfied with the whole paint job actually. It looks splotchy and shitty IMO. It looked good at first but now that the sun it out I think it looks horrible.
