I went and clearcoated the GTX this afternoon and it went rather well until I got to the top of the roof and the trunk panel. Looks like my Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear was a little too hot for the MCW Enamel paint. Looks like I have some wet sanding to do later.    More GTX to come... |

Yeah, it does! I forgot that this paint was MCW Enamel and not Lacquer. I also forgot to "mist" my clearcoat on.

Man! I’d be upset for sure. After it was coming out so nice. Hopefully you can fix it.

Lacquer is way too hot over enamel, I don't think it ever works well.

I usually "mist" my lacquer clear over enamel, but I forgot to this time. My thinking was that this MCW paint was lacquer and not enamel. This paint was a gift from a friend, so I didn't order it. If I had ordered it, it would have been lacquer.

Hopefully, you can recover from this in good fashion. It's a great color for a B-body MOPAR.
