A funny thing happened shortly after applying the second coat. A couple patches started to craze. Not all over, just here and there. But quite significantly in some areas.

I've subsequently read a boat load of articles and watched a dozen videos, and I can't find a definitive explanation, other than "it just happens now and then". It's not a different type of paint, it was thoroughly dried, I sanded lightly between coats, removed any excess, I didn't over-apply the second coat, the temperature was 69°F, humidity was low, I vacuumed off the parts and wiped everything down with a little rubbing alcohol before applying the second coat. And I'm not a newbie. As far as I know I did everything right 🤬

So now I have to wait a couple days for the second coat to cure, then sand down the crazed sections, hit the whole thing with some steel wool, and try again.

Arrrgh ! Maybe it's just sh!πΣΣ paint. Obviously more to come ...
