What a nightmare

I have had a very hard time working on the seat frames.  I first stripped the seat bottom and sanded the frame down to metal.  Then I primered it.  So far so good.  Then we went off the rails.  I painted the primered frame with POR-15 and these strange little bubbles appeared.  It looked just awful.  Instead of stopping, I kept going.  It was a disaster.  Then I decided to try to spray primer over the POR-15.  Wow, that just made the problem worse.  I finally let the whole thing dry and bought paint remover at Lowes.  I had to buy intense gloves to protect my skin.  I used the paint remover to take off the layers of paint I put on.
