Hi, just a guess, but if i paint anything with gloss i leave it at least 3/4 min days to dry especially if you have a few coats. You might have had moisture trapped under the clear coat? The only thing to do is re sand and re spray then leave it for a week to dry. then try a small test patch for the clear poly? finish.

Well ive hit a problem, this is what ive done so far: *Stripped down all the electronics, hardware, neck removed etc. *With 100 then 200 i took the top layer of gloss of the body. *Wiped down with white spirit to remove any dust and grease. *Used a spray on primer, gave it a 5 layers, which came out really even. *Sanded the primer with 1200 grit wet and dry to remove any specs of dirt. *Sprayed about 6 coats of White gloss paint, following all instructions etc, came out well with only one run mark. *Left 24 hours for it to dry. Now this is where my problem is, i bought some spray on clear coat to give it a high gloss smooth finish, well after applying the first coat, the paint started to crack and swell up. The paint even scraped off down to the primer when i poked at it, so i think i hasnt stuck to the primer enough. Ive stopped for now. But im not too sure whats happened. Any guesses?[/quote]
