I'm pretty good with a spray can but there are a few different paint types now so I can imagine how easy it is to cause a reaction.
One of the mates is starting to do painting after years of doing the panel fit and has already had a few mares after washing and cleaning only to get crazing and other surprises as soon as certain things touch.
Silocan being one of the culprits.

Respect to your tenacity Rich, I'd have taken it all to the local spray shop a long time ago!
Hope you crack it soon though.

Something a little bit different.

I forgot to mention I have also ordered a few tins of an isolator spray paint to try out on my panels.

Some of us still have to go away from home to work ( NOW) or stay indoors all day and work, did not get home till 7 last night so no work, maybe some tonight and over weekend. The sprayed panel in the video looked okay as it dried not as shiny.
