- Tue Jun 08, 2010 7:49 am #199134 Hi Guys - I have just been doing some rust work on my civic in the classic spots on these cars.

As the car is Frost White, NH-538 i will try feather and blend. I've just put a check coat of primer on but the it seems to separate. It seemed to be a recaction between the primer and old lacquer but I looking up the paint code there is no lacquer? here's a pic - what do you think?

- Tue Jun 08, 2010 1:07 pm #199157 is the white paint the factory paint?
What kind of primer are you using?


The factory paint should be a urethane instead of a lacquer.

It looks like the only place this happened was where the old paint was sanded through. So I think it is what is below the white paint that is reacting with your primer. See how only the very edge is lifting.

Do you think i should chang primers? or just sand back some more

thanks

If it happens again though you might want to try another kind.
If you're priming over bare metal, Self Etching Primer is better.
