After my final coat of paint, I have a ring of primer exposed around each rivet head. The topcoat doesn't seem to flow in. Any secrets?
My process is:
1. solvent wipe the part to remove all tape residue etc.
2. Red scotchbrite with Metalprep 79
3. Rinse with H2O
4. Alodine for 5 minutes
5. Rinse with H20
6. Dry two days
7. Two coats Akzo green primer (enough to cover variations in color between aluminum, gel coat and filler)
8. Cure one hour plus
8. 2-3 coats Shopline JTX acrylic urethane direct gloss, 5 minutes between coats
