Brian, Strip the primer off. Krylon wrinkle will not wrinkle on a primed surface.
I think that info is on the can in super tiny letters right next to the Spanish, German, Italian and Boswanan ( Nothern dialect) translations. I ran into that problem with a nicely primed rack panel and ended up with a nicely painted glossy black panel. Stripped off the paint and started again with no primer. Worked great. Your radio is looking real good ! de KA4JVY Mark ----- Original Message ---- > From: WA5AM <[email protected]> > To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, September 14, 2009 6:39:49 PM > Subject: Re: [AMRadio] SX-28 Cabinet wrinkle finish - in progress... > > Hey Todd, > > Yes, it's Krylon wrinkle.
