Oil paint over water based primer = problem. Wish I would've caught you earlier, but what happens is that the latex breathes and is flexible...and draws out moisture. You can put latex paint over oil primer, but not the other way around. Just make sure now that your cab is never outside or in a moist area or an area where temps significantly fluctuate. Also, for that black Rustoleum Enamel, you'd use mineral spirits for clean up. |

Sorry to hear about the unfortunate situation. I will be reviewing my plans now. We might need to get a paint sticky somewhere. |

It will be inside in a controled environment so hopefully it will be okay. I've been thinking about hitting it with another coat. Do you think making it that much thicker would make it worse? I can live with it as is if so. |

Haven't had any problems with the mix of paint types. Wade |
