    Default unknown 1970s/80s black undercoat / primer

    Been meaning to ask for a while.
    My TS16 interior has a black undercoat / primer, which is quite tough,
    but which I have never seen its like before.
    The boat was built by a bloke connected with commercial shipping, so I'm
    guessing perhaps this is a remnant of something used on much larger vessels.

    Anyways, I'm wondering what it is & whether there are likely to be compatibility
    issues, as I need to spot paint a few areas where the enamel top-coat has
    cracked, and a couple of tiny areas where the crack extends through this
    mysterious black primer/undercoat.

    Anyone got any ideas?
    cheers

    Could it be an early epoxy primer if so I'd guess any top coat will be OK just give it a scuff. Mind you if it's cracked through to the ply perhaps some epoxy primer over these areas first may be wise.
