I'd like to hear from anyone who has suffered in this way This was the worst. The topcoat was really hard, flaked off in some spots, hung on like warts in others. I bought a needle scaler from Harbor Freight and hammered the whole mess off. Roughly the equivalent of blasting, but more work. <G> Evercoat Featherfill primer, sand forever, and topcoat as usual.

Hey any ideas welcome I think you should stick with the blasting, rather than have the pour-on magic elixir stick in some places, and not in others. I'd hate to have to do one of these twice. Or if you feel lucky, maybe a marine epoxy primer, and metal flake gel coat it. I Have ideas, just not necessarily good ones.
