Centurion Project Part 10 Cosmic Explorer Upper Body Paint Problems

I should be done with this model by now! I had problems with the Rusto 2X Gloss Black.

I did my regular two light coats followed by a heavier "wet" coat.
The final thicker coat crazed and wrinkled!
Who knows why? The weather has been cold one day and warm the next. Maybe I didn't wait long enough for the undercoats to dry.





When sanding down the wrinkled surface, some of the paint layers rolled up!
I continued to sand it as smooth as I could get it.



Three coats of filler / primer followed, sanding between coats.
This raised the lower dips and peeled area.

The upper body and nose cone are ready for the second try of gloss black.
