Alrighty i bought some clear acrylic laquer to go over some airbrush work that i have done. I dont usually use clear topcoats but when i sprayed it on with my gravity gun, it went on as a white mist. the product is crystal clear in the can but wen applied it turns to a mist white as its leaving the gun, can any1 tell me whats going on?

How long ago did u spray it, some clear topcoats are a sorta filmy white when u spray em but become clear when cured...if u havent waited for it to dry yet, wait untill then to see if it clears up, if its dry and still hazy/white then is it possible u had some white paint that wasnt cleaned from the gun properly?.

Turns out the laquer wasnt thinned enough and the pressure was 2 high, causing the clear coat to dry as it hit the surface. so ive taken back the shhhty coat with wet n dry, and redone it properly
