I am painting a SBL 10L. Removed all the old paint down to bare metal. Then I primered first with Sherman Williams Kem Kromik Metal Primer. It went on very nice and dried rock hard in 16 hours. I waited 37 hours before painting the top coat with Sherman Williams Industrial Urthane Alkyd Enamel. I used both a short tap trim roller and a Purdy China Bristle brush to apply the paint which was recommened by S/M factory. I painted the pan 18 days ago and the paint still has not dried. To touch yes it is dry but you can with your finger nail very easily scrape it off and roll it into a putty ball. It is VERY tacky and soft. Painting in the garage with over head doors opened. I have moved some of the parts to the basement shop area, which is air conditioned and some parts out side into the direct sun light. Still all the parts are not drying paint still VERY soft. Looks like I will have to remove all the paint from parts that I have painted. If so the bed is going to be one heck of a job removing the paint from all the webbing in the bed. Does any body have any ideas that might be helpful. I have taked to Sherman Williams people and they say that I applied the paint wrong and that it should be dry within 7 days. I have been going round and round with S/M but not getting any help. Right now I am not a very happy camper. Help. Thanks Chet
