Yes. I did. --- ;^)

AFAIK, the only paint that should go over Tremclad primer is Tremclad
rust paint.

I believe it says that on the can. (the directions on mine are hard to read)

After cutting the hole for the lower rad grill, I thought I'd paint
the exposed bits plus a bit more in the area. I primed with Tremclad
primer and top coated with spray paint.

It totally lifted and melted the primer.

lol !

So rather than watch paint dry, I thought I'd post this for the paint
newbies! --- :^)

Cheers,

Neil.
