answer 1
Primer is (2 - 3 coats) 15 mins between each coat, then left overnight before black
Black is "plasti-kote" (3-4 coats) upto 30 mins between each coat. left overnight before lacquer
Thin coats each time
never wrinkled going from primer to black but it does from black to lacquer
answer 2
Is it all Halfords standard paint/primer or wheel paint that's being used? If so they are all acrylic so they are 100% compatible with each other.
If its another brand of paint it may not be compatible, particularly if its an alkyd of some type.
How many coats of primer and black have been used?
How long was left between each coat?
If lots of very thick coats have been applied it could be a case of solvent entrapment but this tends to cause pin-holing rather than wrinkling.
