I thought the instructions was to always wait until 90% dry, then recoat. But, if too thick, apparently it is recommended to let it completely dry, then scuff before the next coat.
Hello! The paint has been completely removed and the frame was prepared almost with perfection (no rust , no contaminants). Primer , the paint and the clear coat were the same brand (so i exclude the possibility of incompatible paint either)
Once i experienced the same problem when a frame a frame was contaminated , but that effect appears after a couple of hours after the praint. That's is so strange because we are talking about years and not hours.
