Paint Spraying problem
ive just re sprayed my 4i in Strato Silver, once i put the laquer on i noticed a small reaction on one of the rear wings.
i rubbed it back down and used primer filler but the reaction was still showing, so i rubbed it back further onto the original filler over my welds when replacing the rear arch.
the reaction is still there so i put a skim of fine Surface filler over the top hoping to seal it in, but its still there the moment i put primer filler over the top.
has anyone got any ideas how i can get rid of it as ive got to have the car out of the workshop by next friday and im stumpped.
cheers

i did a 50/50 mix on the base coat was that right?
Its turned out OK now but some areas of the laquer im struggling to get a good finish on so im hoping it will polish up.

50/50 is ok, but if you didnt prime the whole 1/4 or rubbed through the primer to show edges during prep, these will be the areas you had a crazing effect... in this instance I would thin a little less... its the solvent in the thinners, I guess you arent using water??
I also hope thats not the full extent of masking in that pic??

ive painted the whole car so yeah that was the masking at that time,.
solvent, thiners water?
i used 2k thinners mixed with the base coat and laquer and whilst wet sanding i used a water/fairy liquid mix, was that ok or have i done a big no no
its not a mint paintjob but it was my first time and didnt have much help/advice at the time so ive just done my best.

Is the basecoat solvent based or water based? I guess solvent
I wouldnt use 2k thinners in solvent basecoat (unless it specifically specified ie ICI )
what ratio of hardner thinners went into the Clear?
Also fairy liquid in prep process is a big no no
