Epoxy primer?
« on: July 09, 2009 - 09:01:04 PM »
Getting ready to paint undercarriage of 70 Gran Coupe, have spent 2 months cleaning off undercoat and ready to sandblast.  The car has little rust, but does have some on frame rail under the master cylinder.  After  sandblast and prep with KBS Aqua Clean, I'm ready to prime.  Is it necessary to use epoxy primer or is reg primer ok.  I just want to do this once in this lifetime.  Car will never see a trailer, but I will be careful when I drive and watch the weather.  Epoxy vs. standard primer, that's the question.  I know if I use epoxy there is a recoat time frame and not sure if I can recoat that quick. What's the verdict??  Or is there a better mousetrap?  If I find an tutor, I hope to post pics of rebuild on this site to humor everyone.  :feedback:

Epoxy primer is the better product to seal for rust prevention. Re-coat in 7 days or sanding will be needed.

As for posting pictures I highly recommend a photo hosting service vs uploading here. I use http://photobucket.com/ which is free. I often upload directly from my camera both photos & video then copy & paste the IMG CODE here or other sights.  No cost & much easier than re-sizing each photo to fit this sites requirements.
