Primer

Looks nice but I think the laquer over the Testors primer did not mix since the plastic looks crazed. You might run into trouble if the plastic did craze and lift when you go to cut the paint.

When crazing, the plastic lifts and creates minute high spots which when sanding will cut off the paint and leave bare plastic.

Maybe this visualization is easier

origninal plastic surface should be like this __________

when crazed the surface looks like this /\/\/\/\/\/\

when sanding the tips of the surface will be cut off and expose the plastic

The only way I can see a fix is to let the paint cure lightly build up more coats of paint so you fill the low spots the sand the paint.

Hopefully you can fix this.
