My previous mini had the inside of the floor painted with some sort of tarry crap. It never properly set and when the exhaust heated the floor up it would re-melt and smoke. I'd see this stinky mist rising up through the carpet. The whole car stunk like someone had spilt solvent in there. It needed to all be washed and scraped out.

The inside of my old mans steel boat was painted in tar epoxy, it was terrible stuff, the water got behind it and rusted a hole right through the hull. It was a huge job stripping it out and fixing it with paint. The shipwrights around here won't go near it.

Basically the problem is that tar is a crap bodge.

The English language is a rich and beautiful oral and written mix of history and encompases elements of long forgotton languages created when man first put pen to paper. A true respresentation of expressionary history.

The standard oxford dictionary contains all the words in the English language. Much of what you typed is not contained in its hallowed covers.

ill help you's.... i had a fair idea that an OIL is not what you want before you paint a metal with any sort of primer(having pael beating/spray painting in the fanily for years does that)... but i just read that and it sort of kind a a little bit REALLY assured me im correct as well


NO YOU CAN NOT PAINT OVER FISH OIL...IT WONT WORK
