Peeling Latex Paint - Why?
Mysterioii:
It seems appropriate though, since your name is "SirPeale" after all... :cheers:
bkenobi:
Could there be an incompatibility between the primer and the paint? I'm not a painter, but I thought I had seen that if you use latex primer and acrylic paint, that's bad (or maybe the other way around).
Mysterioii:
Since you were expecting rain, I wonder if humidity was a factor...
DeLuSioNal29:
Just stating the obvious, but was there a different type of paint underneath? If it was oil based then you need to stick with oil based paint for the next layer. Latex or water-based will bubble over time.
Also, after sanding it down, I use a tack cloth to remove any dust. A wet rag doesn't remove all of the dust and it may remain damp after you clean it all.

SirPeale:
Both the primer and the paint that I used are latex based. I don't know what the original surface paint is. But, the primer appears to be sticking to that okay (though if your run your nail over it hard it comes off).
My fault for using POS primer, and not Kilz.
