Could be due to incompatible types of colour and clear coat, what did you use for each? Could also be that the colour paint wasn't fully cured before putting on the clear.

Yep, Perry is right, if the clear and colour are 2 very different products like one is epoxy and the other enamel. you need to make sure the base is fully cured, not just dry, before you apply the clear or it continues to off gas under it. Big difference between dry and cured. It is best to use a colour and a clear that are the same type if you want to do all the coats in a short time, but reading the cans and following what they say is always the best bet. A lot of paints have a recoat window of <20 mins or >7 days , <4 hrs or >14 days etc and that is for the time it takes to completely off gas and fully harden. If you want to get it done quick Duplicolor auto lacquers are really fast cure and can have a good 2K Clear applied over them in like 2 hours I believe for a really good finishe that is fuel safe etc. Just make sure if you use a 2K clear that you wear a respirator, not a dust mask and cover your eyes and all exposed skin.

It's actually the opposite, in many cases.
If you're rattle canning the clear coat and you're using enamel paint, the solvent in the clear begins to dissolve the color beneath it.
To get around this, you should apply enamel clear coat while the final coat of color is still wet.
Or, use a two-part clear coat, instead. Spraymax 2K is a good option.
+4 everyone is right.
the solvents in the fresh clear are attacking the uncured paint coat.
Either clear within 10 minutes of spraying the color coat or at the minimum 7 days after.
You will have to sand her back down to primer and do it again.
Also, Im sure you noticed the ugly streaks in my tank paint the other evening...thats from gas spilling.
Like Sonreir said' guys seem to have great luck w the 2K stuff.

Well she is back together. Lost the #10 ball bearing for the clutch mechanism. Anyone know where I can buy one? (Store) also have paint to fix on the tank. I will be out of town for a week so I will have to continue later. Her first start will have to wait.
