heat has helped me before with some blushing like holding the guitar close to a light bulb or a hair dryer

Blush remover might be "grau-entferner" in german but I am not sure. Clou has a product for it... You could also search for "grau anlaufen, "Wolken"- or "Wölkchenbildung" and "Schleier"-somewhat. What kind of clearcoat did you use?

Great build btw.

Hi guys! Thanks for the kind words and the tips! I've already tried some heat but to no avail. Then I wiped the body down with the solvent based cleaner I use for degreasing and it helped. There is still some blushing left but I'm hopeful that it will go away after a light coat of clear in dry weather ... but it's very cold and damp right now, so I have to wait.

Thanks for the "Grauentferner" PoppaPopp! I found the "CLOU Spraymatic Grauentferner" online - this seems to be exactly what I need. But I couldn't find anybody that is selling it in Austria and no similar product either. Maybe it has a different name around here ... so wie Topfen und Quark

I use the super cheap "Spraila/Auto-K" spraycans for 2,90 euros a can - they worked really great when I painted my mustang. It says on the can that it's "Nitrokombinazionsharz" based. Well, at least it has the word "nitro" in it, so I guess the CLOU product would probably work.

Thanks again everybody! I will keep you updated.

Thanks for the offer, I might take you up on it sometime. But as it looks now I have solved the blushing issue!

Weather was pretty nice today and humidity was around 40 % so I decided to proceed with clear coats. Spayed a mist coat and all the blushing was gone in an instant. Everything looks good now! Pics will follow.

I buy them here:

I use the "Grundierung grau" and the "2 Schicht Klarlack". When you buy 12 cans it's only 2,33 euros per can.

Got to admit, this is a gorgeous color. I'm glad the blushing was resolved!
