I had sanded and painted the upper dash last weekend then wiped it down with acetone before spraying - MISTAKE. It had flashed off and I thought all was well but it softened (I guess) the remaining paint some and the final finish looked bad in a few spots.

Color sanded w/220 wet/dry and resprayed today only to have a bit of alligatoring in a couple spots - DAMN! I waited, let it tack a bit then added a fairly heavy final coat and it settled out a bit. I'm hoping (fingers crossed) I can color sand with 1500 wet or dry in a couple days, clear it and all will be okay. I'll post pic's once I spray the bottom of the dash. I'm doing a two tone idea; I've gotta see if I like it before posting it.
