Me again hoping to get some more helpful advice.
I finished painting my tailgate but there were bits in it and not really sure what they were. I thought it might be dried paint falling back on the tailgate as I painted? The room when I painted was warm, I used fast activator and it was a typical dampish Aberdeen day outside. I wet sanded the panel with 1200 and then 2500 and then Farcela G3 compound. I thought I'd got all the bumps out but when I brought it home tonight and in the better light I could see there were still what looks like about a dozen little pimples. Apart from them it looks great. So what are the chances it could just be dried paint defects and I could wet sand them out or could it be solvent, water or even oil in the paint? My plan is to leave it at home in the warm over Christmas. I've uploaded a couple of pics but you can't really see the defects. If it needs to be sanded down again then so be it, it's all a learning curve and I'm getting pretty reasonable at the block sanding I think. ;-)
After the Farcela G3 compound would I be right in using Farcela G10 finishing compound and then are any of the Autoglym products in the pic any good or would I be better off with something else?
The next job before I go any further is to improve the compressed air quality at the workshop before I do anymore spraying.
