:)I posted a question a few days ago about a painting problem the top-coat was wrinkling !

I had used Krylon primer in spray cans several times on the Model A before with good results ( not all of us have real good painting equipment ) but this time on the Model A Hood the finish coat (Arabian Sand ) Wrinkled up and separated like you had put paint remover on it ...I was talking to a friend about this and he told me that many of the spray paints have a "RE-COAT WINDOW " he stated that he had the same problem and it was because he waited to long to apply the topcoat or finish coat ...he said that the Krylon paint he had used specified a 4 hour re-coat window after that any other paint applied may cause wrinkling you could apply another coat after that but you have to wait until the paint already applied was FULLY CURED and this takes AT LEAST 4 days at 70 degree temperatures ...Well I stripped the hood to bare metal AGAIN , Sanded it smooth ,applied Krylon primer 4 coats sanding lightly in between with 600 grit ...Then the Arabian sand top coat and it came out really nice ! no wrinkles ! no problems ! So I just thought I would let you guys know how this came out and THANK YOU ! FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS

The krylon paint must have been reformulated. I have never had that type of reaction with krylon. Thanks for the update.
 
Bob, Thanks for the follow up!! Sure is nice to pass on the answer when you find out, really do appreciate it.
 
Arabian Sand is light sort of yellow cream color thats what it looks like to me anyway ...:DTHANKS FOR THE COMMENTS GUYS ! B0B in michigan
 
What did you apply the Arabian Sand with? I'm assuming some type of spray gun and wondering why not use it to apply primer.
