Exactly what Mike says... most of the "paint" problems can be traced back to people that know so much they have to mix systems.... paint is engineered to work best with a certain system, so start with one system and stick with it all the way through.

I want to stay away from the 2 part epoxy's, that is why I went with the enamal. Will Zinc chromate work? or is there an enamal primer? Thanks Tim

Tim, why do you want to stay away from 2part epoxy? It's by far the best primer out there!

I only needed a pint to paint my cowl and some farings. I also dont have a proper place to spray the epoxy. If I was going to use a epoxy I would have used PPG auqapon which contains zinc and is chemical resistant. Tim

Alodine the bare metal and then spray a chromate primer.

Re: enamal paint

Polyfiber's epoxy has chromate in it, and is also extremely chemical resistant.
