Hi DSRTRDR

Are you sure it is the POR15 primer that is flaking and not just the top coat that was painted over it? (If so, was the surface properly prepared first?)

POR15 primer dries to such a glossy finish that a top-coat painted on later would certainly tend to peel/flake off unless "tiecoat"/sanding/other precautions were taken.



PS. My method of top-coat application (where I spray it on before the POR15 is "cured") is just "a trial" and I admit I could suffer these same consequences - but with the TOPCOAT only. I wouldn't expect the POR15 primer to ever flake/peel off!
