Primer, and well not so good

[toyota00]

I primered my truck body the other day, it has dryed for close to 2 days now. So I went to paint the bucket where the seats and everything go, and the paint shrivles up and looks like spiderwebs. Why is this? I am sort of mad now because I do not know what to do. I need some help please... Thanks

What kind of paint did you use?

Enamel, lacquer or acrylic?

Ok first off I used Spaz Stix from towerhobbys.com. In the interior though I used this cheap stuff called kustom kolor. Don't worry, it was used on an experiment model. The funny thing is this kustom kolor worked fine on my jeep model but when I used black instead of the yellow on my truck it made huge spiderwebs under the paint. Then I tried this spaz stix on the extior and its doing the same thing. I am guessing its my primer then, but why wouldn't have the yellow paint on the jeep done the same spiderweb deal. I used the same primer on both...

Photos.
I don't know what you mean by spiderweb so I'm assuming it's crazing.

Could be two different paint types reacting, which is why I asked what paint types you used. Type, not brand.

I guess its like major orange peel. It looks like a spider web that is very thick under the paint. I told you the brands because I am not sure what type they are. They don't say it anywhere on the bottles...

There is a pic of it. I just painted that paint on real quick to show you what happens when it touches the primer. Its in the right hand corner.

That's crazing not orange peel. You're getting a reaction between the two paint types.
Unless you know paints won't react, always use paints of the same brand and type together.

What should I do? I have some of that paint on my truck too. Should I buy like lets say Tamiya primer and Tamiya paint and then re primer it and paint it in the next couple weeks? Which paint would you recommend? So basically just use the same primer and paint from the same brand right? Damit, I don't know what to do with my truck now. I have almost everything done, and now the body is giving me crap ... ugh... thanks for the info though.

Definitely a bad mix of enamel/lacquer paint.

Sand it down and retry.. Good luck

Kustom Kolor is a Valspar enamel... Not sure of the other.. Spaz Stix?

might be a long shot but isn't spaz stix polycarbonate (for rc cars?)

Doesn't really matter now. Thanks for all the help. Just going to sand it and restart. Should have it up in the progress forums in the next couple weeks and it will be complete.
