If it comes off on the rag, I'd say you need something better to seal the support. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2017 Posts: 124 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2017 Posts: 124 | I've never seen a panel like that come through with a finish coat on it. If it was me I'd scuff it up with some scotch brite or 320 paper, clean it good then hit with 1 or 2 coats of epoxy primer. Then paint it what ever color its supposed to be.
