Message	and simple green off. Then I rubbed with alcohol to try and get everything else off and hair dried it to make sure it was completely dry. It is not cold here, I just wanted it to be dry. I had thought I had done a good job cleaning the first one, so I was trying to go over board on this one to make sure that was not the problem. I spray paint things all the time and they come out great, so I don't think it is my spray painting - just must be something in my prep or something else I am missing. I was worried I got the wrong paint, but when I pulled up tech, it was the same thing in the pic. Most of the "spots" are very small and would probably not show when on the car, but I know they are there and they will bug me. I thought about letting them dry and trying to brush over the spray, but I hate to make it worse.
