I painted the first one perfectly. Looked nice. But then the next three I painted, formed cracks in the primer. There are literally cracks in spots all over the pillars. I dont know what to do. Buy bondo and use it as a filler or keep sanding on the cracks until I make them smooth. Someone HELP!

Yea, I dont know what the hell happend. One of them turned out great and they reat just cracked. So bondo will do the work? I used all duplicolor paint. Primer, Acrylic Enamel, and Clear Coat. They wont sand flat

yea sand as flat as u can go, then wet sand afterwards with like 400-600 gritt, then try again. with some paints if u apply the 2nd or 3rd coats too late, will crack up, try to get it when its tacky, so check the instructions, but most are like 10-15 min and within the hour

May be over spray paint in one go. That's what happen when I paint my bumper.

Too much sprayed too fast, or not enough flash time between coats.

I had the same problem with mine...thin them down and start all over again.

be careful with the thinner-it deteriorates plastic...and wash surface well after using
