Oh boy, first and last time I ever use Duplicolor's Paint Shop Lacquer...

I sprayed this stuff almost two years ago, now I am sanding the body of the car to spray a single stage urethane and this stuff is still soft..

As I sand I can see the paint being peeled away like a latex paint, and this leaves a line or a bump that obviously will be felt through the primer and seen through the final color coat.

I wasted a good 3 to 4 hours today sanding it to the point where I could smooth it down enough where you couldn't feel it, I just finished laying down some primer at 8:30pm because of all the wasted time sanding.

Lesson learned should have done it right the first time.

Try wiping it off with a lacquer thinner soaked rag.
