I'm having lifting problems painting over One-Shot metallic copper. I've scuffed and cleaned the surface but paint just won't stick to it.
Any ideas?

Also, can I spray polyurethane over vinyl lettering? The rest of the sign is One-Shot, just the letters are vinyl.

Thanks
Steve

Steve,

I'd spray One Shot UV Clear fast dry over the copper and then do the rest of the work over that.
I've used paint and vinyl over the clear and find it works well.
Also, if you do work on aluminum or other bare metals, clearing it first helps a ton to make the painting easier and smoother.

Hope this helps,
Rapid

I like my paint shaken, not stirred.
