Good Morning All,
Last week I had an Issue with my Deltron basecoat wrinkling (see photo below). I sanded the panel with 600, sealed with reduced epoxy (SPI) at 25% using slow reducer (SPI). I left the sealer sit overnight night and sprayed my base the following morning and everything looked great. I came back the next day only to find that the base had wrinkled. The only thing a can attribute this to is that the temperature dropped below 65 degrees the night the sealer was sprayed or I sprayed the base on to heavy, however I tried to spray very light due to the sharp edge of the body line as I didn't want to get a run.
My new plan of action is to sand off all the base and sealer and take it back down to the previous clear coat with 240 since it wrinkled in so many places, I have currently completed this step (see photo below). I plan to shoot an unreduced coat of epoxy to seal in the previous material as well as some burn through on the edges that went to metal during sanding, let it cure for 48 hours at ~80 degrees then sand with 600 to remove any texture. At this point I will shoot a coat of 25% reduced epoxy, let it sit overnight and follow up with base in the morning and clear the following day.
Since I am just a beginner and hobbyist at best I wanted to get some opinions if this is a sound plan of action or if there is a better course to take. Thanks in advance.
