This sounds like blushing. It is common to acrylic lacquers of all types and can be caused by too-rapid evaporation of the solvent from the coating. This causes a fog of condensation to form on the coating as it dries. Butyl cellosolve or another retarder may be added to the coating in small amounts to retard the drying time. This effect is most common in cool, damp post-coating environments. Eliminating the moisture therefore helps the cause. If you have affected boards to fix, contact me directly and I'll explain how it can be very simply done.
