    I just painted a late model Chevy truck all over. I applied sealer (Omni) and base (UTEC) no problem. I then applied a coat of clear (Single Source 64) and noticed no problems. When I applied my wet coat of clear I noticed what I believe to be severe solvent pop. I initially discarded the clear I was using and replaced with a different batch. Same problem. I then switched to Keystone clear and although the problem still existed, it was not near as severe. I believe the problem came from the initial coat of Single Source at this point. Could I have been using a bad batch of Single Source clear? The problem is so extensive and deep that water sanding does not seem to be a viable solution. The best solution I have reached is to DA with 80 using a soft interface pad and then again with 180, seal and repaint. This is going to be very labor intensive as well as costly but I do not know of any other solutions. Please advise of any similar problems and possible solutions.
