So I had painted my armor and bucket with primer and then the metal coat. Both seemed fine at this point and everything looked smooth, however, after adding my base coat after masking with liquid latex, the melmet had these "cracks" where I could very clearly see the silver underneath.



Today I sanded the helmet down, scuffed it up but didnt go all the way down to base material. Put on the primer and within 5 minutes when it started drying (automobile primer) the cracks showed up again.



I am using Rustoleum automobile primer, andn rustoleum spray paints.



Does anyone have any suggestions for paints for this not to occur and how can I salvage the helmet.



Thank You.


Primer


Metal coat used on helmet


Metal coat used on armor which is not cracking.


The cracking culprit (notice not everywhere is cracking, these areas were sanded clean)
