Default Paint blooming

I am trying to spray a wing which i have now done twice, i have all the equipment but my problem is the weather (im in the uk) so the paint blooms. When this happens is it just on the surface or is all the paint effected? I tried sanding the top layer off and buffing it up but it still looks like the 'milky' effect is there. Can you sand of bloom or does it require another respray?

I have a formula red s2000 if this helps any

cheers

Pictures of the surface would help in determining what would be the best recommendation, but I imagine your problems are related to temp./humidity issues.
Any chance you can supply a picture of the wing? Hopefully from that I can recommend the best recourse.

try using a dehumidifier in the room when you paint.

I will try get a pic of it but dont know if this will show up, its basically just enough to throw the colour out so the red doesnt match. Its definetly temp/humidity that is causing the problem because i dont get this problem in the summer. Out the tin the paint looks perfect but by the time it drys the red looks a bit cloudy and lighter

Forgive me if I'm stating something that's obvious to you, but you do understand that the S2000 red paint job involves red mixed into the clearcoat?

If the temperature is to cold you can use a infared heat lamp which dries the paint from bottom up.
