i'm working on a project that calls for changing the color of 10 metal doors and frames installed in a residential building that were spray-lacquered in place after they were installed (but before the building was inhabited).
i won't spray lacquer in a corridor in a residential building that is inhabited. it's just too dangerous. but i can't find anything that wants to stick to it.
i've tried sanding / spraying alkyd DTM - it wouldn't come out of my cup gun, so i thinned it till it would. i got orange peel & alligator skin.
sanded again, not to bare metal, but to smooth. then primer & thinned DTM (cuz i had it) - same thing.
at my wits end.
i may have over-thinned the DTM to get it out of my gun.
any advice would be welcome.
thanks in advance.
