Painting Woes Whats goin on?

Madhatter:

With all respect to you that you feel is due.. you are wrong.

The base coat paint he is using is not compatible with the primer he layed down. End of story. Very common place when you don't know what you are buying.

Colt325e:

Go back to the shop where you bought that shit and explain to them what the issue is. Make them correct the problem out of THIER pocket.

exactly.

Oil, dust are no help to the surface, that's for sure - but that's pretty self-explanatory. Proper cleaning is important, but from the scenario that Colt is giving us, it appears that it is more than that.
If it was the surface dust, oil etc, the primer would not stick properly, and he probably would not go painting the final coat on.
Like Jordan said, the paint is not sticking to the primer, its the paint inmcompatibility (or should I say Paint/primer incompatibility. . . I thought this was also self-explanatory).

oh but since he is going bare metal, Madhatter, you are right about using etch primer.
