The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Recoat to fix "fisheyes" ?

Depending on how widespread the fisheyes are you need to remove all of the material that fisheyed. This may be the whole hood if they're wide spread. If you don't the contaminant will likely still be there. After the contaminated material is removed clean the affected area well with a wax & grease remover then proceed with your paint job. I personally would use a primer/surfacer (these days it's commonly called a "high build primer") to build up the feathered area(s) prior to topcoating. A flat area like a hood will show any imperfection. Just hiding the fisheyes will lead to more problems later.
