Sorry to hear. I've been following this build, and you're doing good work. Unfortunately, IMO, paint is one of those things you shouldn't buy from an auto parts store. Secondly, you can't take their word for the products you use. You also need to read the tech sheets (P-sheets) and follow them exactly. The P sheets would tell you whether it can be applied DTM or not. In auto paint, always read the instructions, if they don't supply tech sheets, it's probably not a product you want to use.. A great source for mail order epoxy, Southern Polyeurethanes (SPI). Best price, service, and support. Be warned, the key to successful epoxy is clean metal, and no rust converters or acids.
