I've painted over an existing coat of paint and it's created a wrinkled effect. What's the solution?

A new coat of paint can sometimes soften the previous coat and cause wrinkling or 'lifting'. This can be the result of using a different type of new coating over the existing paint, or by applying a second coat before the first coat is fully dried. To solve the problem, to make good.

1. If paint is still soft, scrape off, wash with white spirit and recoat to correct film thickness.
2. Allow to thoroughly dry (this may take a few weeks). Rub down until smooth and recoat.
3. Totally strip back to a clean surface and repaint.
