When I went to check on the frame and fork this morning, the fork looks fine but the frame looks like a glazed doughnut with a white speks all over it. The frame was dry to the touch so I look a clean towel and tried rubbing the white residue off the frame; it came off in some spots but not others. I had to leave for work so i only had a few minutes to try to fix it.


What did I do wrong? Any way to remove this white crap without further screwing up the paintjob? Any suggestions would be appreciated

i dunno dude. i tried to clearcoat some car wheels that i had rettlecanned matte black and the same cloudy speckly thing happened. i just repainted more matte black over them. you might not have done anything wrong, that just may be the paint.
