A. Hi Jayaprakash. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it looks like you are simply adding a polyurethane dispersion to a temporary rust preventative and calling it a coating system :-)

Please describe your pretreatment steps in detail so we can help you fix it; non-robust finishing processes are environmentally hostile. Thanks!
