On the highest end job what would you do with bare metal? I’d etch then epoxy. What do you think provides the best metal protection?
depends??? if all the body work is done etch then 2k but if ya got a big steel turd im starting ta think just epoxy if their is a lot o filler work ta come cuz it dont like the etch;)
Strip it fix it etch it then 2k.dont etch over any filler unless you want to do it again later.the only dupont product i kept is 615 variprime.I have been using more epoxy on somethings mostly undercarriage and frames.were doing a 64 tbolt now i’ll post some pics when its done.
I’ve applied etch followed by 2k over filler (mainly just the metal, but it travels over the filler to). No problems so far, why do you say that? Get me a nice picture an I’ll post it on the main page.
I think that the painter at the time was the biggest problem he was a spray can bandit which doesn’t hold out well over filler in my opinion so i just don’t put it over filler as a habit. we got about another 2 weeks of tweaking before we paint it off course its blk I’ll get some nice outside shots of it.
Ya I wouldn’t just put a rattle can primer over filler by itself. i should say I wouldn’t do it again. B) B) It was my own car though, it went titanic on me.
(sunk big time, just in case yous didn’t comprehend the titanic reference)
😆 O yeah I’ve seen titanics and hindenburgs.I’ve painted cars that no matter what I did to them they just would not come out to my satisfaction.I painted and stripped a super beetle 3 times because It just would not come out right for some reason I did 2 bmw z3 all overs while I was doing that job and one was a chromillusion job and they were perfect but everytime i shot that damn bug all hell would break loose.I saw that hateful car the other day and it was the shinnest solar yellow you ever seen I ended up putting chroma premier ss on it and then clearing it with 72400.I still hate that car.
