You are right that paint alone wont stick to metal and the primer is there to help adhesion. This is why when metal is left in primer it can still rust. In my painting course we are always taught to never leave anything in primer esp if it is going to be out in the elements. If you are using a 2 part paint system, if the catalyst is mixed correctly then the only thing that can soften it is a paint remover. acetone or thinner once cured shouldnt have any effect.
