Lacquer staying tacky

[simonre7]

Hi all
I've been refurbing my wheels myself and I've got all the way to giving them a coat of primer. It now seems to have all gone wrong, the lacquer won't dry!

I've used halfords cans to paint etch primer, silver and lacquer. I originally sanded down with P400 and then p1500 between coats.

Any one have any ideas to help or do I start again?

did you give the silver plenty of time to "dry" ?

if not it's the solvent from the base coat silver stopping the lacquer curing.

editted ,

drying and curing are too different things , something dry may not FULLY CURED.

I am sure its what you meant and could be the OP's problem even more so using 1k cans
