I've been doing a lot of spray painting lately - from tins of spray
paint, not from a compressor, and have been having problems with
wrinkling. I've used a primer coat and the same brand of spray paint
as the primer too.

About 50% of the time a second or third coat will cause everything to
sort of alligator except that instead of shrinking, the paint expands
and creates alligatoring in reverse with raised ridges.

Anyone know what causes this and how to avoid it in future?

Too thick a coat or too many coats with insufficient drying time
between.

Either insufficient or too much drying time. Some paints state to re-coat
within one or two hours, or after 24 hours. The in between can cause
problems.

True. Being the impatient type, I think in terms of too soon. :-)
