This AM when I got it in better light I noticed that I had a couple areas that needed another coat for good coverage so I started to spray another coat, this is when it went bad. The paint started to wrinkle. I stopped and let it sit, later in the day I wet sanded the whole thing. Now do I need to re prime it or can I just hit it again with the Yellow? Thanks in advance.

Sam, Glad it turned out! I just wanted to add, that yellow is by far, the worst color to cover,....it flat out sucks. I think what might have happened was the paint "lifted". On most parts, by the time I finish one coat, I'm right back on the previous part with another coat until the yellow has covered. I had to sand out the wrinkles when it happened to me. I would not have concerned myself unless bare metal was showing after sanding, or to build back up the sanded area, would I have used a primer. Temperature differences can cause wrinkle problems too.
