Uneven coloring

[Nicholasdaniel]

I recently sprayed some toner onto  a body i was working on it had major blushing but i fixed that but now i have a few small areas that still bluch as well as some spots of paint that were spitted out onto the finish making it look bad... its minor but noticiable
Do i need to sand it?
Or apply really light coats of clear and it will even itself out like that?

You're at the toner stage...

What I would do is radical.  I'd take a rag with some lacquer thinner, and wipe the entire body down, trying to get things all cleaned up, then shoot the toner again, leaving more room between the can and the body - also watching the can temperature.  When you spray from a rattle-can, it cools down and you can get spitting.  Some nozzles just tend to drip a lot, so you might have to spray, wipe, spray, wipe... and keep the nozzle wiped as you go.

The thing is - whenever you start out on something like this, you have to learn the characteristics of the materials.  There is a learning curve.  And every time something changes - new learning!

You could maybe sand the area, but... thinning the area might also work ok with toner, if you're dead set against a total clean down.

I fixed the coloring but what happens to
dried in blush?

I dont see any blush... I see splatter from nozzle not being right, or can being too cold, sprayed too long etc.

Those DARK dots are splatter.

Blush is a whitish/translucent cloud that forms in lacquer, due to moisture being trapped as it dries.  You need to closely regulate the application to the ambient temperature and humidity.  That is - if you get some blush, back off!  Usually blush will go away on its own, or can be driven out with hot air (hair dryer on low, very low...).

If I'm getting blush, I'll spray, then run the body inside the AC where its less humid and ... sometimes hit it with the hair dryer too.  Usually dark colors show it a lot - black is brutal - but you can blush any color or clear.

Splatter - wipe it off with a rag of lacquer thinner and re-tone
