Drying time was at least 48h...
It seems I can let it dry for days and it won't make a difference.
The strange thing is that it hapens in some areas and not in others, and it doesn't seem to
depend on how "wet" it is.

Carlos,

You did not say how long the drying time for the first coat was. Is it
re-emulsifying with the second coat?

Somebody out there correct me if I am mistaken, but isn't two coats of zinc
chromate an overkill? It has been my understanding that a thin film is all
that is desired.

Noel, the preparation consisted exclusively of scrubbing with scotch brite, and then a clean rag
to remove the dust.
I let it dry 24h, and then applied a second coat.
I also tried letting it dry for 48 and 72 h, same results: random spots of "wrinkled" (for lack
of better word) primer.

If a single coat suffices, then I don't have a problem.
If two coats are required, I may or may not have a problem...

Do you wipe down the parts with a bit of MEK before priming? If you don't
like MEK, who does, then you can try methyl hydrate.

Hi Carlos:

Soap and water or a strong solvent will remove any
oils from the surface before priming. I usually make
it my last step before application. If you don't do
this, you can get places where the primer will "lift."
I only used one coat of primer for inside surfaces.

FWIW,
