    the downside to our hobby, i went to my workshop today and my paintwork looked spoton now as you know i want to use this tractor for working days when it is finished and want some thing easy to clean, so i spent all morning wet flating my nice shiney paintwork so i could give it a coat of 2k laquer, look what happend two weeks of work gone up the swanny.

    That is just heart beaking Nigel , I do know how you feel though as it has happened to me a couple of times . I dont know why the laquer reacts badly with the enamel .
    hopefully someone will know the answer to this problem .
    Maybe this is a thread that is worth doing at some point

    I am guessing it is the old problem of a reaction between the two types of paint/lacquer.

    It’s the old synthetic vs cellulose based. I mainly get it when spraying primer over flatted paintwork. It’s bloody frustrating!!!

    It’s the acids in primers, retain moisture and hates lacquer.. how long after you’d put the enamel on before the lacquer Nigel..?? I guess you’d know to leave it as long as you can.. but it’s just got to be 1000% dried & cured.. time more than heat is the safe route.. but time ain’t always there I know.. but it’s one hell of a fantastic job you are doing.. just hope you get it sorted before doing anything drastic ( like wot I used to do! )

    Brilliant work so far!

    its my own fault painted it one day dried it with heat, clearcoat next day, i should have known better, but you know how it is when your on the home run of a project you tend to do things that you would not normaly do and regret it later:S
