Solvent boil is caused by putting too much paint on too quick. Solvent is trapped underneath the dry top layer and little bubbles can 'pop'
looking like the paint has boiled.
It is hard to say if the doona and tarp will affect the paint as there are too may uncertainties and variables.
Brand of paint, temperature of paint when applied, pressure, spraygun, action used when applying, amount of thinners, number of coats, thickness of
coats.
