Hi

Suspect repaint time. Probably either put on too thick / too quick, or the paint and one of the other layers have reacted.

All the best

Hi

Very much doubt it can be fixed without stripping it off and doing it again.

All the best

Is it the top layer of clear thats crazed ?
If so you might get away with some tcut to remove it, or fine wet and dry.

Please say that you primed the tank 1st........

You will need to do it again but do it how iv told you and make shore the panel is clean by using body wipe and a tack cloth.

hi sorry
to start properly the bike was matt black previous owner tube!!
i flatted back the matt black and used it as a primer base coat
then gave it several whacks of 2k black gloss with 20 mins drying time between coats.
i the let that stand for 24 hrs to harden off and flatted back the imperfections. i then gave it several coats of acrylic lacquer with 20 mins dry time between coats( the lacquer was recommended by paint supplier). it then stood in my garage for nearly 6-8 weeks b4 i put it on the bike only after it went on the bike it started to craze..

i attach pictures of how it looked b4 and after

it will look nice if you can do it again with out the cracks in it try to give the paint more time to set be tween each coat
