Painting Trim Using Lacquer Toner. FISHEYE RESOLVED!

What happens here

During the initial spraying of door jambs and doors, a significant issue of 'fisheye' (small, circular craters or dimples in the finish) appeared. This was later attributed to contamination. To overcome this problem without resorting to complete stripping, an improvised technique of back-brushing the freshly sprayed tinted lacquer was employed. Immediately after spraying, a chip brush was used to lightly brush over the wet lacquer on the affected areas. This action helped to spread and blend the finish, effectively masking the fisheye imperfections and creating a unique 'glazed' or 'antique' appearance. The customer, upon seeing the result, approved this new aesthetic, allowing the project to continue.

Goal: Correct fisheye imperfections in the finish and create an acceptable aesthetic.
