white spirit is oil meths on the other hand or brake cleaner is finemarkie wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 6:49 pm The secret is in the prep. Get back to bare metal then DEGREASE THOROUGHLY. Don't touvh it with your hands after de-grease. Best de-greaser is "Panel wipe" from a motor factors, but white spirit will do at a push.
Next step is acid etch primer as above and leave for 24 hours to cure. I always apply gentle heat with a heatgun before and during spraying for both primer and top coats.
Apply several light top-coats as directed on the can. Leave for 24 hours and repeat.
Hycote is great, or Simoniz tough black. Also had good results with Toolstations Industrial spray.

I used acetone as I have a gallon/5litre bottle of the stuff. White spirit is OK if you are painting the house but not really suitable for degreasing metal for spray paint as it isn't oil based.
Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
