    Removing wrinkles in paint

    I've messed up my painting job. Some parts are absolutely perfect but some have wrinkles on them after the paint dried. How do I get rid of these? I've tried sanding and repainting but I can't seem to get rid of it. Should I just use paint thinner and start all over? This might be a stupid question, but would paint thinner remove the primer? I sprayed in two directions, vertically and horizontally. Is that the cause of wrinkles?

    paint thinner and start all over, make sure to properly coat with plenty of primer....and make sure the surface is very clean.

    depending on what kinda paint you used, you might be safe with just using nail polish remover

    If you're talking "Orange Peeling", you don't need to repaint it. Get some fine sandpaper and sand out the wrinkles and then use some rubbing compound to take out the sandpaper scratches. I did it when repainting my trunk of my car and it worked really well.

    Wrinkles??? Pics of any of them? If your painting plastics that have had "armor all" etc on them you have to prep it really well. Use "Plati-Prep"

    Safe on most plastics

    i tried to take some pic but i can't get a clear picture. it's not orange peel or drips. it looks like little hills, for a lack of a better word.
