I've painted over an existing coat of paint and it's created a wrinkled effect. What's the solution?
A new coat of paint can sometimes soften the previous coat and cause wrinkling or 'lifting'. This can be the result of using a different type of new coating over the existing paint, or by applying a second coat before the first coat is fully dried. To solve the problem, to make good.
- If paint is still soft, scrape off, wash with white spirit and recoat to correct film thickness.
- Allow to thoroughly dry (this may take a few weeks). Rub down until smooth and recoat.
- Totally strip back to a clean surface and repaint.
