I can't be sure of the brand they used (not sure if it was in the receipt notes) but my specification was a 2K primer appropriate for spraying Nason Fulthane over.


Looks like lack of prep, lack of repair in the case of that one crack. Also looks like things got WET before paint was applied, and again, with lack of prep before painting, for all that rust coming back through. Not sure what primer they used, but if they failed in these other areas, it's hard to say what was used for primer.. regardless of what you asked for..

I'd be cautious about using etch primer in the vicinity of your 2K/epoxy? as the etch may cause the edges to lift/ruffle on you..
