Hammerite recoat ?!?

[DamirGTI 323]

Evening gents !

 

Doing bodywork on my mates 205 , and not really sure how to solve this without it happening again :

 

 

 

 

... (not done by me ) - the shell was sand blasted round 10 years ago and painted first with the Hammerite ("on the rust" type) and top coated with , dunno which one acrylic cellulose or something else , anyways as to be expected Hammerite reacted with what ever was put on top and made an real mess - heavy paint flaking and cracking .. which then led to rusting , hopefully just surface rust for now .

 

Now , i've limited use of Hammerite paints myself and even those few made me not using the said paint ever again ! .. the stuff seems to react with pretty much all the other paints .. at least from my experience , acrylic being the worst with which it reacts fastest as well as cellulose .

 

After cleaning up this mess , rust clean up and sealing with rust converter , i really don't know which paint would be best to use to recoat this with ?! without this happening again ..

 

Epoxy primer perhaps ? or some type of sealer/isolator ? or , Hammerite again !

 

Thanks !

If it was me i would take it back to bare metal & Epoxy primer it, then top coat of your choice.
