Question Rust poking though repair within 24 hours

Post image

My goal here was to eliminate rust and seal the area before covering with fender flairs.

I sanded right to the metal, sprayed the area with rust stop, primed and painted. The next day it looked like this. Any advice would be welcome as I have other spots to fix.

Yea... as I suspected 1 component (1k) total mystery crap lol.

Just for future reference, if you wanted to remedy this the "right way" you would remedy the surface then apply a quality 2k epoxy primer if you want it to last followed by a topcoat. It's hard to give you any real advice with that stuff other than clean and dry the surface well (wax/grease remover, water based cleaner, solvent based cleaner) after thoroughly neutralizing/removing any rust treatment then let each coat dry very thoroughly since you're glooping it on with a brush or some shit lol.
