I started down the Spaz path after seeing Greg's results and intend to stick with it. I have little confidence I could make a foil application look any better.

I have the part masked and that was a big investment.

I realized as Greg did, the fisheye was also on the tape, which means the problem was with the paint.

I have had trouble with water before, so that might have happened. I have to admit, the weather was nice and I didn't check the humidity level. I have found if the dewpoint is less than 10 degrees lower than the temperature, I can have problems.

I called SEM and plan to use their products as HWYSTR455 suggests. The tech rep was very helpful. The local WESCO store didn't stock it all, so I had to order, but here's the recommendation:

1. SEM Soap - apparently has a mild abrasive
2. Prep Solvent
3. Adhesion Promoter - for thermoplastics
4. SEM Gloss Black paint for plastics - their general purpose enamel was not recommended

Wish me luck, and thanks to all for the comments.

Worse that happens is I destroy this part and have to find another or buy a repro.
