RUNS

Incident Description
Paint runs or sags can occur when an excessive amount of paint is applied in a small area. It is a well-defined local thickening of the paint film in the form of a wavy line or shallow, rounded ridges, normally confined to sharply sloping or vertical surfaces.

SANDING SCRATCHES

Incident Description
Sanding scratches are surface scratches under the paint film. Abrasive paper used to sand the metal surface or primer was too coarse, leading to scratches and score marks which show through the topcoat. The sanding scratches may appear as straight lines (the result of hand sanding), or circular lines (the result of orbital or machine sanding).

SURFACE SCRATCHES

Incident Description
Surface scratches are multiple tiny grooves in the paint surface usually all going in the same direction. Paint appears rough, or dull, which is caused by something rubbing on the paint. Dirt on the paint surface acts as an abrasive agent increasing the likelihood of scratches.

THIN PAINT

Incident Description
Thin paint is evidenced by the underlying metal or primer paint surfaces showing visibly through the paint film. It occurs most frequently in hard to spray areas, on lower panels, or on sharp edges or contours.
