crazed body - any fixes

[gtx6970]

I recently painted a Moebius  AFX Dodge body. And I guess the primer I used - ( Rustoleum - a new to me brand ) and painted over it with Duplicolor touchup spray

 

Its crazed the body enough I am not happy Not sure if the primer or the top coat caused it. 

 

Any coming back from this or just get a new body / hood / new kit and relegate this one to the parts pile ?

I would try to strip it first and see if the plastic got etched or if it was just a paint reaction. If you can get it to strip then you can better decide if you can save it or not.

you might be lucky enough if you used enamel primer. i dont get rustoleum where i live so dont know what type of paint is but i've had the same happen with plastikote primer and duplicolour. i was lucky enough it was just the paint that crazed, but even if the plastic has crazed you can probably save it using filler primer and repeated sanding like printed bodies

Thanks all

 

I'll drop it in the strip tank and go from there 

 

Im my gut tells me its an enamel primer 

 

I'll usually use Duplicolor . But they were out of stock

 

so bought a different brand, and it bit me in the buttocks 

 

lesson learned  and will not happen again

Rustoleum primer is enamel ( I conducted that test a couple of years ago and returned the can, since the store employee told me it was lacquer). Duplicolor is lacquer, and a fairly hot lacquer. The hope is the lacquer just crinkled the primer and didn't go deeper down to the plastic.
