After an hour wait, I added two light coats of topcoat primer to seal in the self etching primer. Evidently if not topcoat primed, the acid in the self etching primer will discolor or lift the finish on the final color topcoat as it evaporates. Letting the etch primer completely setup for a week or two would probably take care of that particular issue. It would require scuffing the primer and wiping everything done again. I'm going to try and apply topcoat color to the primers tomorrow without scuffing (still in the allowable 24 hour window) and see what happens and how durable the floor becomes.
