I was spraying the hood of my tractor this morning when little bubbles starting forming while I was spraying it. I sprayed other parts of the tractor last night and they came out great. What did I do wrong? Could it be too humid? Please help.

There could be many factors. First off, if you touch the tank with your bare hands, you transfer oil onto the surface. Any kind of grease or oil could make the paint do so, even from your hands. Maybe the tank wasnt prepped well enough? If the paint was put on too thick with the improper amount of reducer, solvent popping could occur as well.

Sounds like some kind of solvent acting on the new paint. You can't wipe down a project with opposite Solvents ,Oil Paint wipe down with Mineral Spirits,Laquer wipe down with Reducer or Laquer Thinner. I'm sure you know this so still there is some kind of opposite Solvent under the new paint.

I would assume by your wording that you have some humidity where you are spraying. Probably what happened is your compressor pulled a lot of humid air in the night before when you painted. Now that it has cooled the moisture has condensed and you are spraying the condensed water out of your lines and atomizing it into your paint. If you are seeing it right as you paint then it is water. Solvent pop or other reaction problems will usually take a little more time to show up. It only takes a drop or two in your lines to atomize and look like a thousand in your paint.
