Can we talk about how I was mismatching paint clear coat brands for years

I spent about 8 months mixing a PPG clear coat over a Sherwin-Williams base on a 2017 Honda Civic bumper and wondered why it kept peeling back every 3 months. A guy from the local NAPA store pointed out I was using incompatible solvents between brands and that was the problem. How do you guys handle mixing different paint lines without running into adhesion issues?

8 months mixing PPG over Sherwin base? @walker.alex that's wild, I would've lost my mind after the second peel. Can't believe the NAPA guy didn't catch it sooner.

Yeah that'll do it.
