Hey....I came in this morning to add a fade of green over a panel I painted blue last night. I had painted it with ONE SHOT bulletin color. This morning, it is dry to the touch and I set at spraying on the green KRYLON....it immediately starts to elephant skin and pucker up....what'd I do?

one shot is oil based, krylon is lacquer based. The thinner in the krylon is "hot" and will soften the &(*&^% out of the one shot, which will cause a bigger mess than you ever saw. General rule of thumb, you can use one shot over dried krylon, but krylon over one shot is a no-no. It is like spraying paint remover on the one shot. I would say you're going to have to start over. sorry! hope this helps.

Da Da Da Don't. Solvents reactivated the 1-Shot, I think. I got lucky, the first time I did it was on a practice piece.

Thats great to know, thanks for the tip. Posted by Shane French (Member # 2098) on :
I am curious,
How does one identify if a paint is a lacquer if the can doesn't specifically state that? i.e. what 'ingredients' should one look for?
Thanks, Shane

The trick if your going to use it is to start off with a light coat of clear, then walk away for 5-15 min. This slow build up of clear will keep it from aligatoring your surface. We've always called these light coats fogging or **** coating.
After about 3 of these thin coats, you'll be able to add a little more each time or spray a little bit heavier. Take your time, it's not for a rush job.
It may look as though it's not the greatest job until you spray the final wet coat on the 5th or 6th coat.
You can use the same method with automotive clear, but must be patient!
