So I’m helping a friend restore his 66 mustang and he’s trying to do it cheap as possible. Well he first tried painting it by himself and took it all the way down to bare metal. At that point he found that he was in-over his head on how much work he need. So he decided to cover it all in rattle can paint. Now this is where I come in to help him. I told him that we need to knock everything back down. Spaying Self etch primer, Epoxy primer do all the body work and then finish everything in Urethane. Well all he saw was dollar bill and told me he cant afford that. S[color=#448800]o I thought to my self Polyester Primer is cheap and will fill in minor imperfection. But now I’m worried its not going to adhere to the bare metal. Do you think Evercoat G2 will work ? [/color]
According to the tech sheet it cannot go over bare metal. Must use etch or epoxy first.
http://www.evercoat.com/imgs/pis/Feather%20Fill%20G2%20PIS%20032009.pdfThe poly primer would need to be sprayed with 2k primer surfacer (or at least a urethane sealer) before top coating.
Why strip the job, do your body work over the bare metal. Then buy a small quantity of etch primer for any remaining bare metal. You could buy a value brand 2k urethane primer surfacer (like Nason, Omni, Acme etc) and apply that. Block then finish sand the primer and topcoat with an Acrylic Urethane top coat (Single stage). This will be a very durable job and inexpensive if you buy the right stuff.
I went and bought some 1k rattle can self etch primer it worked just fine. The top is going to be Sikkens Autocryl and its going to sealed with Sikkens Colorbuild 250 plus.
I would definitely be hesitant to cover a car in 1k aerosol but hope it works out for you. :weights
