Small blisters in paint are normally caused by moisture in the air when painting.if the original was not cut back and then filler/primer was not applied in a heated spraybooth,you will suffer again and again..

Can you paint epoxy primer over 4 day old ppg base coat paint

PPG basecoat is probably part of a water based wet-on-wet painting system designed so each successive coat can be applied in relatively quick succession and then baked in an oven, followed by the activated lacquer so the whole job can be completed in less than a day.

I had cause to do a minor body repair to a vehicle that had been refinished some months before with the PPG water based paint system - I was surprised to find the base and primer coats were still moist and tacky and the new paint reluctant to adhere to the feathered edge of the PPG paint.

In conclusion I would guess you can apply epoxy primer as in reality it is little different from the epoxy lacquer in the above example...

Peeling paint on cinderblock walls in basement

Just a guess, but it is likely that moisture is causing the paint to peel. I suggest you remove as much peeling as you can with a wire brush and then use a waterproof sealant. I had very good luck with a product they sell to seal cement walls in basements with moisture problems.

A month ago my antitheft light started blinking fast and my card shut shut down now it wont start and the theft light is still on..

You have have the orignal master key the car came with or have a new key programmed by your dealer.(some small shops have tools for this too).The key has a chip in it that the computer looks at (a code) that lets it start if it's right.if it gets damaged,or a non-chip key is inserted,the vehicle won't start and the anti theft light blinks.

I have small blistering of paint on my roof, can i protect the blistrs from bursting?

No, that would probably be the clearcoat and would need refinishing.

Paint is blistering on edge of hood. Can it just be re painted, or is hood replacement. This is a 2004 Ford Explorer.

First Wash the area, than take a dremel and with the wire wheel @ high speed, grind off the bistering and feather as best into good paint. Next rough up the area with some 100 grit sand paper. Use body filler (bondo 2 part filler) and smooth over with plastic blade. When dried work with 220 grit sand paper till you achieve the lines you want. spray cover with primer and apply touch up paint(Dealer has the best matchs) in coats. When happy with color use a 400 grit wet sandpaper to get a highly smooth finish and when dried cover with a clear coat finish.(Auto part stores). Buff when that dries and I guarantee thats the cheapest easiest d-i-y- fix you can get.
