Ok ran into some problems,Im using Bondo filler and Dolphin Glaze but when I spray on some primer I get this:Anyone have a clue? Thanks
[IMG]http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt18/elkookooey/2010-04-12194718.jpg[/IMG]What kind of primer are you using?
I don’t really remember the brand but it was just auto parts primer, was just using it for a guide,I got it figured out though looks like I was spraying the primer to soon not allowing the putty to completely dry out, that’s what I get for trying to be too much in a hurry.
If the putty has been there for 30 minutes that’s enough time to be ready for primer.
You probably used spray can primers, they do not have high build like 2K primers.
You gotta apply multiple layers to get a decent coverage and whenever you spray a bit of primer shrinks into the bondo/putty.If I were you I’d get R-M Polyuroxyy or SEM Metal-Lock. They are 2k/epoxy hybrid.
Filling of 2K with corrosion resistance of epoxy.BTW are you a hobbyist? Are you going to paint this yourself? Seems like you are working in a shop.

hahaha! yeah just the occasional hobbyist, yeah just spray can primer but I do have a quart of some Nason primer ready to spray on that area now that it turned out the way I was hoping for, I will have to try them other good quality primers sometime, Thanks for the info.

[quote]Did you just spray it? :cheer:[/quote]No still spray can primer just a lot of lighter coats with plenty of flash time in between.
this one is childs play lol. and like bondo said, ull want to bolt some of it together to check for proper panel fit before you do any cosmetic work let alone primer.
