Thanks for the reply, I think I'll look for one and give it a try.

With the delaminating paint you have to take the whole part down to bare metal. Then etch prime, sealer, color and clear. Urethane is best especially with the clearcoat.
my roof was bad so I did that and used rattlecan black with a catalyzed urethane clear on top. Worked nice.
If you dont have access to a spray setup, eastwoodco.com sells catalyzed urethane paint in aerosol cans. Epoxy primer too.
