    idk, though i probably did that unintentionally with the cans sitting outside in the sun. After trial and error, i ended up using rustoleum ultra cover paint from home depot, it was head and shoulders above anything i got from the auto store. Also, i tried several primers and only 1 seemed to work as intended, duplicolor self etching green primer with green lid. clear is from expresspaint.com, store clears are shit.
