Painting Plastic Help

[Mattitude v1]

I'm painting my trunk panels and am have discoloration issues with the flat black paint. I painted them about a month ago but they started to chip in areas, so I just decided to repaint. Now everytime I paint them I get a cloudy black. I tried sanding/not sanding, priming/not priming, cleaned with prep-all, and each time I get the same results. Also tried Dupli-Color and Krylon. Fusion doesnt come in flat black. My only guess is it's the humidity thats causing the discoloration. Should I just wait until Fall when the humidity goes down or is there something I can do to get the correct color?

I had the exact same problem. It was caused by my cleaning agent. I tried prep-all; made it cloudy, i tried acetone; cloudy, i tried rubbing alcohol; Viola turned out right!

Try switching your cleaning agent to rubbing alcohol, see how that turns out.

Rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl) or denatured (Ethyl) alcohol?
