I finally got around to working on touching up the paint on the interior side rails of my 7A Slider. My original paint wasn't that great, so I sanded it all off so I could start with bare metal.
If you want to skip the story, my question is: What's a good rattle can Interior paint that is NOT Rustoleum?
Here's the story:
I primed the bare metal with a self etching primer and top coated it with rattle can Rustoleum because it is a good color match for the rest of the interior. The first coat went on fine except for a few sags and a few areas that needed a second coat. The instruction say "re-coat within 1 hour or after 48 hours". Due to the sags, I did not want to re-coat right away.
I went back the next day and sanded the 1st coat. Rather than waiting the full 48 hours, I re-coated the Left side rail .... Big mistake, the paint wrinkled very badly and looked awful . I guess they were serious about waiting 48 hours.
So I go back today, 48 hours after the re-coat (72 hours after the 1st coat) and re-coated the Right side. Once again the paint wrinkled I then proceeded to remove most of the paint on both sides using MEK and Paint Thinner. I'll finish removing the remainder tomorrow.
I really, really don't want to start again using Rustoleum. Any suggestions on another brand of rattle can paint?
