I remember reading an article whereby a certain motor manufacturer painted the basecoat in one room and the lacquer in another. A difference in temperature on the bodywork on the journey from one room to the next caused a "bloom" on the basecoat which reduced the bonding of the basecoat to lacquer. It only happened in certain weather conditions, on certain days, so was not constant through the same models over the years of production. I seem to remember that it was a Ford problem but something similar may have happened at MG Rover? Perhaps some of the old staff may remember what happened at MGR?

Crazing?
