That worked really good! You could only clearcoat it with a clear that could be thinned with mineral spirts! Dont think they have that kind of clear! Awesome 40 dollar job!

The research I've found on this says to do this on a car if you never plan on ever painting it with automotive paint. Once you use rustoleum you are stuck with it. Apparently automotive paint and rustoleum do not work well with each other. Once you use Rustoleum you would have to strip it to the metal in order to use automotive paint. I'm sorry if this was already mentioned.

Or at least sand back down to base coat. Paints don't have a conscience, they want likes with likes. Meaning, if using a SOLVENT based paint stay with SOLVENT based. Newer water based paints are the only thing that will be affected here. Then, just getting the primer base coat with water based solvent would be recommended.
Getting ALL the wax off prior is key. Sanding just moves it around, it needs to be chemically removed. It is easily done. |
paint job

Yeah, the interlux black is pretty difficult to get a god shine out of. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get a mirror shine out of my hardtop. I guess I'll have to try again.
