centre console spraying
#1
hey all had my centre console sprayed up since march and since its been really hot iv noticed a few tiny pin head sized bubbles appear in random spots. Any ideas as to what i can do to prevent this from happening do i need to use heat proof lacquer? or have I done a crap spray job...
