    I recently painted a 99 Dodge Ram Truck. I had to strip the hood, roof and top of fenders due to delamination. I primed the areas worked with lacquer primer and subsequent to paint covered the worked areas with 1k sealer from Nason. After painting with Nason base and clear I noticed the areas that had been worked had small craters in them. There were literally thousands and only in the areas that had been stripped, primed and sealed. Could this be solvent pop. Is it possible I sprayed over the 1k before it dried sufficiently?

    Well, it might be. In any case, lacquer primer and 1k sealer are really old school and not very good compared to 2k urethane products.

    Also, I am not really sure that Nasons’s 1k Acrylic sealer should be applied over fresh lacquer primer. Those are 2 products that make me cringe, especially the sealer.

    I would strip it back down and get some of the Nason 421-17/19 2k urethane primer. As long as you don’t burn through, you won’t need to seal this stuff. Just make sure to use some etch on the bare metal.
