What kind of flat white was it? It sounds paint incompatibility.

What kind of paint did you use for the flat white Carl? That may be the problem. When you want to add a slight sheen to flat paint,just brush on a really thin coat of future. It works great for me and saves masking on tub style interiors.

Carl, I would have painted my interior with Testors Classic White (gloss) and the sprayed some Testors Dull-Cote over it.

I'm not sure the type of flat white paint would cause a problem . The Testors clear lacquers aren't hot enough to react with other types of paint . Possibly it's the way you applied it , maybe too heavy a coat ? Also it could be the weather conditions when you sprayed . Very high humidity can cause a lot of weird things to happen !

As a last resort , strip the paint and repaint it the way High Octane suggested .

Good Luck !
