Rustoleum Booboo...How to Fix?

13 years ago

I am renovating a little cottage, and pulled the floor vents out, cleaned them up, and spray painted them with Rustoleum.

They looked like brand new. I left them to dry in the sun for two or three hours, flipped them over, and sprayed the bottoms.

Let 'em dry for an hour, flipped them back upright, and used the last of the paint to give the top another coating. After 15 minutes, the paint started to craze and crackle. I tried wiping one of them off, and made a mess.

Is there some kind of solvent I can use to wipe down the tops to try again? Undersides look fine.

Don't want to toss them because the house is so old, they aren't standard sizes, and replacements will be HTF and pricey.
