I decided to remove and paint the side covers on my engine (one at the time). I cleaned and sanded some of the smaller parts and sprayed then with etching primer and after about 24 hours did a light sanding and sprayed the with header paint. All went well, yielding the smooth flat black finish I want to contrast with the Chevrolet Comp. Orange finish on the bike. Sunday the weather was clear and warm so I did a good cleaning on the right side cover which I had already sanded and sprayed it with the primer (same primer as on other parts) and it dryed until today. Again today the weather cleared up, humidity around 50%, temp of 67 degrees. I did a light sanding on the cover and sprayed it with the same can of header paint I was using. I got an instant wrinkle finish! I don't understand why but that's not my question. Do I let it dry well and attemp to paint over it or take it back down to bare metal and spray the header paint only? Or What?! I'm open for suggestions! I should have mentioned that the primer is a medium green showing through the flat black
