i striped down a frame today redy to be resprayed and sold used nitromorse for most of it them mum told me i dident need to take it back to raw finish like i thought i would so allot of the rear end was bare steel after sanding down the rest and laying a coat of primer i was happy with the amount coated

came back 2 hours later and the primer on the rear triangle is flaking off on the paches it was raw was i supost to do somthing to this area before priming like  s special coating or layer? all day i was on it and abit peeved off tbh :'( ah well all a learning curv i spose.

any help would be a great help as i want to get some paint layed on it 2moro

Lol...has your mum done much nitromorsing?

I scrub everything with fairy liquid, and a good scourer after nitromors, then pressure wash it all off.

if theres even a TRACE of nitro left on it, it will bubble your paint, or cause it not to dry.

after all its paint stripper.

yeah shes always been abit of a handy man type striping gates,furniture ect dad was never around so she had to learn as i am now lol
i think that may well be the problem then and there was trace of the nitromorse left on there and it reacted with the primer il flake it off the nasty bits 2moro and try again after giving it a clean over

oberonspacefruit:
scrub it like fook, then blend the surrounding paint with wet and dry paper, with lots of water, then either wait a good day for it to dry, or heat gun it to force dry it, then re prime.

post some pics if you get stuck, so we know what we are dealing with.

Whenever i paint something i wipe it clean with some celulose thinners first . I also use a zinc based etching primer ( availiable from most small motor factors ) especially when two different types of surface are been covered . Try warming the cans of paint in a bucket of warm water as well , this helps you get a better finish on top coats .
