OK. So, I may not know jack about painting... but I thought it was pretty simple. I sanded down a old Mario Bros. cabinet just about down to the wood through the original orange paint, along with some bondo work on the corners, I was ready for some primer...
I chose the
Kilz Premium for a primer. I applied it using a
foam roller (not that exact one, but similar). After drying time of about a day, I came back the next night and painted the sides orange with
Enterprise Interior Latex Semi-Gloss Paint. Yes, crappy paint, but I had read that other people had painted their cabs with it without a problem.
So, here comes the interesting part. I was doing a second coat of the black (white primer was easily noticable), during the trimming on the front, I noticed the coat underneath the wet paint was coming up. After closer inspection, I found that I could wipe it all off straight down to the primer! The primer was in prestine condition, the paint just simply didn't stick to it.
Now, I am 99% sure that both of these products are compatible. They are both water based, etc. What I am wanting to know, was it the paint, or was it me?
All I have to do now is wipe the cabinet down with a wet washrag, and the paint peels right off in huge sheets. A picture of me doing this is attached to this post.
That is what I am going to do to strip it down, I'll give it a sand, a reprime, and I'm going to use some better quality Behr paint and see if I have more luck with that. I am still very curious as to if anyone else had this issue, or if I got some faulty paint.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
