It waterspotted and nothing I've tried takes it out. It has two coats of black primer, I do like the look and I was eventually going to flat clear coat it. Short of repainting anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Jim

Yes, tried watering again mutipul times, (in the shade), all kinds of cleaners/waxes, vinegar even the new "Ratwax" that is supposed to take out water spots, straight primer is too porous a surface. Might give some of the newer dishwasher stuff that gets rid of spots on glass. Thanks for all the suggestions.
