Barcoat is best for when stuff is reacting.its absolutely soul destroying though.

Andy tried normal primer, reacted through
Back to bare metal where it reacted and another coat of pimer, reacted through in new places
Bare metalled reaction spots, epoxy primed and primed over, reacted through.
Bare metalled and more primer, more reaction.
Bare metalled it and Bar coated it then primed the whole car again finally with no reaction.
Then in the booth for a coat of red, baked, 3 days later reaction in a totally new place!!
Whole car rubbed down and reaction bare metalled and re primed
Final red coat applied, now waiting to see if it's ok, Andy's expecting some fish eyes cos of the amount of paint applied but he's confident he can flat any of those out.
In hindsight we should have sand blasted the whole car and gone from a base we could trust but there you go!!
should of tryed spray seal coat to seal reactions, then prime over them with high build. but doesnt matter now. hopefully it'll be a good-un soon enough. plenty of flatting and polishing to get a glass finish
I left it to Andy's judgment, I can't fault his commitment to the cause!! A lesser man would have thrown in the towel!!
Anyway!! It's back Friday, which means we can tackle the rather long list of stuff before PVS!!
Few pics from today
Bit dusty
Can't believe how good it looks compared to how it used to look!!!
As Andy said, a barcoat/sealing coat should of covered it. But you can never be sure...
Love that you've fitted the boot sticker.

Andy tried bar coating it mate and it wouldn't have any of it!! There was so much aerosol used it was hard to sort but we're there now!!
Andy fitted the vinyl!! I've got a little suprise for you Benn!! Hopefully get it on at the weekend!!
Ah ok, bare metal is the best way then. Mine was the same years ago. So was bare metaled before it went blue. And ooooooooo tell me now!
