Last year I replaced my brake master cylinder and clutch cylinders. Since I had it part, I decided to cleanup the mounting bracket and bodyshelf, because the paint was peeling. I removed the old paint and washed the area down with paint thiner then soap, thinking this would remove any residule hydraulic fluid. Then, I painted the surfaces with Rustolium Black for the bracket and Red for the body (Rustolium Red matches very well). About 6mos later I noted the painted areas became severly wrinkled and the paint is soft to the touch. A redo is a must.
At this point I am unsure how to make paint stick to the metal with out peeling. I have used Rustolium on many car parts in the past, but think they may have changed there formulation.
I seek advice:
1. Proper way to clean a metal surface, possible contminated with hydraulic fluid
2. Prefered brand of paint: aersol can or air brush
3. Other?
