Any suggestions?
I have done approx 10 shells now and haven't had this issue any other times so am at a loss?
On a slight separate note, what do people use to finish off as a final protective coat?

Was the shell used on an i.c. powered car, i.e. has glow fuel attacked the paint? A fine mist of oil residue and general gunk from being run whilst still relatively fresh paint, might cause such an issue - especially if you haven't sprayed some sort of barrier layer after finishing the painting.
