Hey guys,
I restore older drill presses here and there. Recently having a weird situation which I do not understand, but I am sure someone here will know for sure. I sand blasted some parts with aluminum oxide. Sat a few days. Maybe,..maybe...some light rustish color. Anyways I have paint matched before using just a simple acrylic latex paint from Menards. For a drill press it is fine for what it is. Throw a layer of paint on. Next day...wtf...rust/beige discoloring all over. This is a gray paint mind you. Today I put another layer on and I think it is happening again! The only thing I can think of it has something to do with the sandblasting. Reason is because another part was already stripped by someone else and the paint I put on their is just fine.
So explain this to me like I am 5yrs old.
