Re: *BIG DADDY*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE

just a question, but have you used that combo of primer and paint before? The only reason is i have had krylon and rustoleam not play well with each other before.

Re: *BIG DADDY*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE

When you mix brands there will be times when the chemicles in the top coat are too hot (for lack of a better term) for the base coat. The base coat will become soft again and could begin to crinkle of orange peel. Test your paints out on a piece of scrap to make sure there is no reaction between the coats.

I've had that problem with both Krylon and Rust Oleum, usally when top coating with the same brand, its really the reason why I hate rattle cans........Good Luck!

All kinds of possible interactions between brands and types of paint. I use Rustoleum red oxide primer almost every time I paint metal, and have used a number of different paints over it with no problem. Never used the gray. Good luck, and let us know how it works.

Re: *BIG DADDY*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE

i have had the same "wrinkle" problem w/both paints, then i read on the back of the can to recoat within an hour or after 24 hours. i think that is the key. i waited the 24 hours or longer and had no problems. the humidity really makes a difference as well. i used some rustoleum last summer and i didn't think it was going to dry in time for christmas!@

Re: *BIG DADDY*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE

yea Georgia humidity will for sure be a problem :roll:

Re: *BIG DADDY*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE

Dry time's not likely to be a problem w/primer unless you really load it up. Rustoleum top coats take hours to dry, and days to rub or re-coat, and aren't the greatest finish appearance wise, but they don't flake or rub, or hold water, once they fully cure. There's something about Krylon that I don't like, but I haven't used any in so long I forgot what. :? :lol:

Re: *BIG DADDY*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE

i find krylon is softer and a little more forgiving before fully cured. Rustolem takes a long time to set up all the way. The weird crack/wavy thing is what happened to me, but i was using a krylon clear over rustolem. I like krylon just because it has so many colors.

i recently had a problem with krylon pumpkin orange on krylon primer????? but rusto blue on krylon primer worked out really well???????????????? :?:

Re: *BIG DADDY*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE

Try this on for size- I was doing some color/paint compatibility test for my bike today. Krylon primer, Valspar base coat, Rustoleum secondary color, and all topped off with Krylon clear. All layers laid down nicely with no adverse reactions. I am starting to think it might have more to do with the dry/cure times.

that could also be a possibility too, i don't know why it happens, i just know it does sometimes.
