Hi all,
I finished spray painting the fins of one of my rockets red yesterday. The paint has been drying for about 22 hours now. There is a strange whitish-grey haze on a good portion of the surface of the fins (and nosecone which I painted as well). It is fairly light, but it is definitely there. The haze can be buffed off with a paper towel. (Unfortunately, it doesn't photograph well.)
I painted the fins by laying down a very, very light coat -- basically just two quick passes -- over the primer then let it dry for ten minutes, then repeated that, let that dry for ten minutes, then did a final coat a little slower/thicker and let that dry overnight.
The particular paint I'm using the Krylon red gloss. The only other color I've used thus far on my rockets has been white, and if the whitish haze is there, I probably can't see it.
Any idea what this is?
