Two years ago I had a friend repaint my 91 Nighthawk. I had the paint color matched at a reputable local body shop. I found out that we had to apply metalic silver paint prior to the burgandy red color to get the same effect as the original paint. It turned out great with the exception of a large area on top of the gas tank where it seemed to have fainted to a orangy like color and the mark was more visible after a couple of weeks. I left it like that until recently and brought my tank back to my friend for him to repaint it. He sanded it all down, applied primer, applied the metalic silver paint and then applied the burgandy red only for the paint, both metalic silver and burgandy red, to appear to no longer adhere to the primer. It didn't chip or flake off but rather seemed to just have lost its adherance to the primer and just eased downward a bit on the sides and on top. I'm no painter so I have no clue as to what he did wrong(if the case). He used paint left over from 2 years ago which I had paid quite a bit for. Any ideas as to the cause and how to prevent it from happening again? Thanks!
