I sprayed on the enamel in the sunshine and went inside for 15-30 minutes, went back out and it had bubbled. Didn't mess up the front.

I am thinking the previous coating had not cured enough and the solvents in the spray reacted with it and bubbled it up.

I scraped it back and spray painted brown Korina prime and paint... expensive shovel, lesson learned.

You gotta follow a set procedure and give stuff time to set up/flash off. Spray and Pray isn't gonna work!!!

Sand it back, get some high build spray primer . Do two coats, then let dry for an hour, then sand it smooth. THEN mist a coat of brown on after. Wait 9-15 min approx depending on humidity/temp then do a covering coat of brown.

Oh man, that sucks, but it is repairable. I took my Purple Haze back down to bare wood 3 times before getting it where I wanted. You can do it, Just take your time and enjoy the build.

Next time I buy a prime piece I will have warmoth finish it, this time I'm thinking it has a protective finish, Not custom shop or sir, but a cathair special.
