Hi all, I've just made a mould for a bootlid for an s1 exige using the uni-mould kit, I used 2k paint (colour) on the original lid and have noticed after releasing the mould that the 2k paint has gone soft and now shows print through from the coupling coat, is this normal?
I used Easylease on the surface (6 coats) followed by 2coats of wax to guarantee release. The 2k paint is 1month old and appeared to be solid before moulding.

This kind of reaction can be quite common.  It can sometimes take a lot longer to cure off a 2k Paint to the point it is resistant to solvents such a styrene.  Certainly it is common for rattle can paints (even so called 2k rattle can paints) that the solvents leach out for a long time which can cause sticking as well as surface defects.
