AMT 1/25 George Barris A La Kart

After second coat of paint I waited around four hours then sprayed a test piece with a clear gloss. It took paint off in some sections. Anyone know why that is?

IDK if 4 hours is near long enough for that pink to crosslink to full cure .
24 hours at least , definitely prior to coating it with solvent
 
What primer did you use ?
an alkyd like that RustOleum 2X ?
that stuff would hold up to that clear no problem , it definitely dissolved that acrylic though .

That clear has an ether in it too -- a heavier weight one that is slower to evaporate ...
 
It was Rustoleum primer. I will switch to a Rustoleum clear hopefully that will work.
 
I am slowly working on this build. I got a little frustrated when the clear coat ate away the paint. I have since stripped the paint off and repainted it. I will spray it with Tamiya clear and see how it looks. Will post some pics soon
