Disaster! The spot putty is lifting the paint. This isn’t the first time it has happened. Earlier I had tried priming the area with a spray bomb and the paint lifted then also. I thought that the filler might keep the paint from lifting, but it is the same problem. I don’t know what paint was used to give the car a quick paint job for sale, but it doesn’t seem to be normal automotive enamel paint.
Each time I give the job a go the area needing paint gets larger! I have sanded off all the old filler and feathered the edges all around.
Not too clear, but I have given the area a coat of Tremclad primer paint using a fine brush. It doesn’t contain the strong solvents used in aerosols. So far so good. I will let it dry completely and then sand off the area around the depressions and then add more primer and repeat until I have a nice smooth surface. The plan is to either brush on a coat of Tremclad gloss black or put some in my hvlp spray gun which would give a smooth finish.
In the meantime I’ll install the left door window runners.
Next: and the doors continue
