The back of the can suggest that it can mess up undercoatings and paint.I don't think the Fluid Film had anything to do with it, I guess anything is possible, but I'm leaning towards something else.
That's what I have been thinking.I'll bet the new metal had a protective coating that required more than a scotchbright pad.
I agree 100%.It appears there's no adhesion at all. I'm no body or paint expert by any means. The metal needs to be sanded per the primers instruction sheet. On plain steel you have to knock down mill scale and use the proper grit for adhesion.
What about Ketchum/Hailey?I’d be more than happy living anywhere from Idaho City on up through Salmon. Lots of other places too. I just don’t think my wife could be that far from a Target.
If you know of a job in my niche field…. My youngest daughter is Hailey, spelling isn’t a coincidence.What about Ketchum/Hailey?
It never appears like that from the factory. Look under the master cylinders, perfect paint strip, no sanding. Maybe Fluid Film is made from recycled DOT3?It appears there's no adhesion at all.

I'm still not buying into the FF having caused that paint to fail. Reading through the FF tech sheets and SDS I'm not seeing anything that causes me concern. Plus that spot I have never really saturated with FF because it's not a seam or a susceptible area prone to rust. I use a can on half of the rear sill and a rear wheel well alone, if the FF was the culprit here I would have huge issues in the rear of the tub.It never appears like that from the factory.

I think it’s a small price to pay to live where you are now! You did the best you could under the circumstances. I can’t blame you even if you did cut any corners.I'm still not buying into the FF having caused that paint to fail.

I also rub FF on the paint around the doors and parts of the tub that have rock chips, bare metal areas, if the FF was a contributing factor I'd think there would be paint failures in these areas.
At the end of the day I think it was piss poor paint prep. If you'll remember correctly I was under the gun getting ready to move when I was at the painting stage.

What I find interesting about that is where that flake is at is the bottom of that Real Steel floorboard I welded in. Everything else around my 40 seems to be fine. Even the other Real Steel products.The enormous flakes puzzles me.

I have a pretty specialized job in an electric utility. Limits what I can do without changing fields and not even every utility does it.Where are you currently working?
I grew up in Ketchum and am still living here for now, a great place for sure, but unfortunately one of the only ones I’ve truly known. At 25 I’m feeling angst to leave but just about to ship my 60 in so I can work on it while living at home with extra car and leverage my current job (business end at a mechanics shop) to finish the project (it’s been a 1.5 year s*** show)—. Pretty exciting but definitely a sacrifice living in this funny place while I learn to wrench. It would be cool if we had a cruiser shop up here, there are classic cruisers but they all get work done at typical mechanics shops or shipped elsewhere.
I approve of the naming of your daughter,
Daniel
