Could they have had oil on them ?, anti spatter spray from fabrication etc.

Did you degrease and panel wipe then before paint ?

If petrol has lifted the paint that easily it sounds like you had an adhesion problem to begin with.

Ha, yes its the adhesion thats the problem . the first time I just etch primered them and rattle canned them and left them on the shelf before the rebuild.
I could see that wasn't right so a took it off , wet and dried it to give some key and sprayed them with the compressor .
Still hasn`t taken though . I`ll try again.....its arse ache thats all .
