Paint reacted with nasty halfords primer I was given. Sanded it all off, re-primered with the stuff I usually use, and all was well

sure it was halfords primer? looks like the reaction you'd get from a silicone based product

Well it's never happened with the primer I usually have. I use cellulose paints, and the primer I get works ok with it, so can only assume it was the stuff in the grey can

Just shown the old man, and apparently its the kind of reaction you get if you paint cellulose paint on top of 2pac paint

Mainly clarke stuff, not the most expensive but it does the job as you can see. Got a decent 7cfm compressor, and a grav fed gun with 1.4mm nozzle.
As said above, use cellulose paint, but may try 2K one day.
