Hello folks,
Hopefully someone with more experience than I can answer this problem.
I recently did a test application of some paint that I've never used on aluminum though I have used it in the past on many trailers. The paint is a Rustoleum product, Industrial Choice 3700System DTM Acrylic Enamel.
I 1st treated these pieces with a etching primer and then applied the paint with a roller and everything looked good. Went out the next morning and found it all blistered. It all peeled off in large sheets. Now during the night the temp dropped and there was high dew points, also everything was wet when I went out to look in the morning.
So what do you think? Was this the paint failing because of the aluminum or was it a failure because of the temps and wet dew? I applied the paint early enough in the day that I didn't think the temp drop overnight would make a difference.
Should I give it another try?
