i think it is difenatly a prep issue with EXIT1965's paint and a combo of not waiting long enough to let it dry. those 2 issues combined are causing a total failure of the paint.



Doing something that I shouldn't do - been doing some more thinking.
The more I think about it is maybe more than the fact that the spirits weren't dry but that they didn't completely 'cut' the new metal rust preservative off the new metal. That there was actually some of the metal film left on the metal not totally the falt of the 'spirit'. but just not enough effort to make sure that the surface was prepped and paint ready.
