Here we go again, Zinsser, white cap, black cap, whatever cap. Kick me if i'm wrong, my primer is" Zinsser,red can, white cap, Bin, shellac-base Primer Sealer stain killer spray". The only other sealer they make is their bulls eye products. KIll me if i'm wrong and send me a pic of ya on the drums in your band if i'm right.

I can read your 'puter but not your can,Tagger. Professor, your problem looks like solvent pop. Let your primer dry a day and your color dry 2or3 days. I use no scratch-coat. My colors dry flat and that is the "bite" for the clear.

try scuff sanding before you clear. you can use 1000 down to 400 grit paper with a solid color like that no problem the clear will hide the sand scratch marks.
red scuff pads or gold too..... i can mail you some if you want?


take one of those and peel all the clear off and scuff it up a little bit.even with the green side of the kitchen scrubby sponge,,, then re-clear it with the same stuff. that will tell you if it's "sanding between color and clear" thats doing that. if it peels off on you again there's something wrong with the combination. fish eye eliminator in the purple?

i'd say if it was solvent pop? it would force bubbles into the top-coat but it wouldn't peel like that. if they were a perfect match together you should be able to spray it purple then go right to clear within minutes and it should be fine.

was that metalic paint from rust-o-leum? if so,I've nothing that'll stick to it. gloss is tough too. flat is your best bet.

Thats the same stuff i use.They have changed the formula to lower VOC's an It's not as nice..
I when I used cans i found the best way to do it was like the freak said.wet to wet.all at once.I would prime an wait 24 hrs an saND then some more prime an sand kept it up till i got where i wanted give it a few days to dry an then paint.U have ta do light coats wait a few minutes an do another light coat.Keep goin every few minutes till ya get what ya want.then in the same procedure i would add a scuff coat.I like the helsmans spar urethane but it will amber.OK on dark stuff but if i wanted a white i would use crystal clear by krylon.then u gotta wait.Sometimes a week is not enough time.I would give it the smell test if i could no longer smell the paint then it was ready.then I would wait somemore.then scuff I have used sand paper an scotch brite. u gotta be real gentle with both even 800-1000 paper will scrape to far on some corners an such.then blow it off with the thing from the compressor..Not a fan of the alchol thing gave it up yrs. ago.maybe wipe it with a damp paper towel an blow it off then no fingers on it.Oils from ur hands will repel the epoxy.I only scuff it right before i epoxy.then I am real carefull wit em.U would be surprised of the ways to contaminate the plug so's the epoxy won't behave.Then it I mix the %$%$%$%$ wrong an the epoxy comes out like poop anyways.welcome to plug buildin.looks like it didn't dry enough.

paul my first thought was that your epoxy looks very thin and flakey and a serious lack of adhesion.
