depends if its water based basecoat or solvent based, normally solvent based wont go crazy after its dried but sometimes does during painting, water based is harder to dry so if its not been 100% dry before lacquered then that could be why, post a pic if you get chance n ill have a look

Cheers Andy

Yeah it's prob as stated above. We've been trying water based stuff at work and had a lot of crazing problems (non automotive but we've always used the good old hazardous stuff)
