Lifting
* An example of this type of paint challenge, but not necessarily the only representation.
PAINT ISSUE:
old paint lifting when recoating -OR- paint shrivels after new coat -OR- wrinkles in new paint
PREVENTION:
- Test questionable finishes with a lacquer-thinner soaked rag; if the old finish softens, isolate or use a specialty sealer.
- Use compatible products and avoid aggressive solvents.
- Wait the recommended time before recoating; especially when spraying lacquer or base over an enamel or old finish.
