Took a close look at the primer on K.I.T.T.s bodyshell this afternoon and I could see mottling all over the place.
It looked it had measles...
The paint still looked okay other than that, so I decided to give it a wash in cold soapy water and then see about laying down the gloss coat.
I have no clue what happened, but as I washed the body of the car, the paint reacted with the soapy water and the paint in places bubbled up as if I had poured paint stripper onto it.
To say I was pissed off is the understatement of the year. I couldn’t bring myself to even take a photo...
So I spent the next two hours trying to sand the paint off, gave up on that and ended up stripping the paint off with 99.9% isopropyl alcohol. Which worked well.
Decided to re-prime with good old grey primer, let that dry overnight and then try the gloss black primer again...
Here it is stripped, lightly sanded, washed and dried, ready to prime...
A quick blast with the primer, et voila...
I’m too fed up to do any more...
