Hello.
Few months ago I made the mistake of painting my van inside with synthetic paint and it was with a strong smell for months.
Then I follow the recommendation of the members of this forum and I decide to strip it all, I pay a guy to do it but he only stripped like 70% of it. The smell stay the same.
Then I found another guy who gave me a good price to strip the rest and paint all my van inside and outside with a proper acrylic paint.
But when he finished he told me he didn't strip the synthetic and he paint it over with primer and acrylic paint (some parts not even primer and I can see the synthetic paint under the new paint) but most was covered with primer. He said he missundersood the job
Now the smells its almost gone and the paint looks good! But I am always reading here that nothing goes over synthetic so I wonder what kind of problems this can give me in the future? For now look good... And what worry me the most, is the synthetic paint will never completely cure? I've read that if covered the paint will not cure... I still have headache everytime I enter in the van but the true is the smell is much less intense (almost zero)
Thank you very much!
