Bl**dy spray cans!!!

[Aussie Mike]

Hi All,

I finished most of my rear end mods and was making everything look pretty on the weekend. I cleaned my control arms down with prepsol and sprayed them with some suposedly tough epoxy based enamel I bought from my local hardware shop. They reckon this stuff goes on with no primer.

I cant say I was real impressed with how it went on. It didn't build up very well but I persevered and layed several light coats on. I came back the next day and hit the arms with a couple more coats. Bloody paint attacked the first layer and made it wrinklier than Mother Theresa. I spent the next few hours trying to clean the whole mess off. I sprayed one of the arms again but any residue of the original paint would react with the fresh paint.

Very frustrating. I'm sand blasting the arms back to bare metal and starting again with an etch primer. I reckon I'll throw this paint over my left shoulder.

Cheers
