[Yaesu] cabinet painting

[phil snyder]

Hi,   Im starting to get frustrated painting an 
aluminum radio cabinet. 

Here's the problem.   I sanded the old paint 
surface down...  I primed 
it, light grey primer....  Then I paint it with 
Tremclad semi-gloss 
paint.  _The primer went on great, a perfect 
paint job._ 
Every time I try painting on the final colour, it 
goes fish-eyed 
(bubbles on the surface of the metal)  I later 
sanded the surface, prime 
then paint..prime goes on perfect...same thing.  
I even used rubbing 
alcohol to clean the surface before painting.... 
same thing - fish eyed.

Any thoughts??

Strip off old paint , than get a primer that is
compatible with Tremclad semi-gloss.
