    great thread, I have experienced similar "crows feet" when using the spraymax 2x before also.

    I messed with it and attributed it to how thick I laid down the coat and how long I let it dry combined with I was painting in my garage built spray booth during winter where I used a torpedo to heat up the garage before spraying but it would cool down a bit over night/before next layer.

    I found I got better results if I did a few very light coats to build up a color and then just slightly heavier for the final pass to make sure it was super clean with no flash. Then I made sure to keep the heat up high for at least 2hrs after done spraying for the night and also wait a week or so between coats. I would then apply the next stencil and lightly (grey scuff pad) scuff the next spots to be painted, tack them, and leave the cabinet again for a day or 2 to off gas after opening up from the scuffs. This process seemed to help greatly.

    It is a super PITA and I can commiserate with your issues.

    just to make sure I understand, do you think your entire issue with the crows feet was due to your base coat being the combined paint/primer instead of the straight primer?

    anything else you think cause it?

    I agree, dont beat yourself up.

    Thanks for sharing and letting us all know/learn from your experiences.

    Quoted from timab2000:

    Laid down the primer

    specifically what primer did you use?
