How to Eliminate Automotive Paint Seeding

Automotive paint seeding is when the paint develops rough patches filled with grit and extraneous material that can ruin the finish and create an embarrassing appearance for your automobile. If you want to prevent paint seeding there are some relatively simple steps you can take to make sure that your automotive paint is in prime condition and that seeding is as remote a possibility as can be for your paint job.

Instructions

    1

    Examine the automotive paint that youre going to use. Make sure that the paint hasnt passed its expiration date, since old paint can form paint seeds once applied. Also make sure that you follow all of the necessary mixing and stirring procedures for your automotive paint as improperly mixed paint can also form seeds.

    2

    Pour the paint through a paint screen. These screens can help remove impurities that are in the paint that might otherwise cause paint seeding. If the paint is new and properly mixed this shouldnt be an issue, however.

    3

    Sand off small paint seeding patches that occur with P1200 sandpaper. This is very fine-grain sandpaper, and it can sometimes remove automotive paint seeding in small areas. Once the sanding is done and the top layers of paint removed you should polish the area and make sure that the seeding is gone.
