[quote=”lild” post=14749]after working on this beast. and lord knows that the owner are aware that it will be only so striagth. and thery fine with that.
i now remember why, i decided to strictly paint instead of doing body work.
but for some strange reason i enjoy the challange. and the smell of bondo.[/quote]LOL!!! :rock
i love this stuff…
Is that relabeled Kirker? Wondering cause Bloverby said it is..(not knocking just askin)
I don’t think I would have cleared anything that was solid urethane…:welc
Bondo has some good stuff..HA!
Tell me you subscribed to his channel :rock[quote=”ryanbrown999″ post=14712][quote=”timbo” post=14707][quote=”timbo” post=14631]here I was thinking high solids would be thicker and low voc the opposite…. :blink:[/quote]
So is there such an animal as High Solid Low VOC?[/quote]Yes there is, a lot of low voc stuff is HS, but not all.[/quote]

So is there such an animal as High Solid Low VOC?Cool! I like custom work! Welcome! :exci
I have a 77 Chevy Luv with a 360 in it now about to replace it with a 413 CI long rod solid roller motor. :rockGood point Nick.
I think somebody around here might actually shoot some products labeled wet on wet without any flash.
:blink:Good posts Nick and Ben.
If you have filler (bog) showing you prob should not go wet on wet as you might get a halo effect of the repair area. :sick:
I have used epoxy primer [b]unsuccessfully[/b] on filler in a non sanding sealer manner to experience this outline effect (halo).
However I have used 5-Star epoxy/hybrid primer [b]successfully[/b] with a 220 or finer scratch to go [b]non-sanding sealer[/b] (not wet on wet) over bare metal and small bare filler spots with success. You spray a couple medium wet coats giving 10-15 min flash between coats…wait 30 minutes then topcoat.If you let it dry and sand it loads up a little dry sanding but does much better wet sanding.
On most all occasions, with exceptions to minor sand throughs in final sanding, I shoot the bare filler with urethane and let it dry (like Ben said). Takes more time but makes a better repair IMO.
The 5 star can be mixed 3 ways:
4:1 High Build 2.2 tip…never used it this way.
4:1:1 Med Build 1.8 tip…3 med wet coats fill 180 easy then wet sand next day (over nite).
4:1:2 Non-sanding sealer 1.5-1.8 tip 2 med wet coats (one coat to cover small 400-600 sand throughs that expose metal and/or filler).You can [b]reduce this with urethane or acetone[/b] whichever you have. I like proper temp urethane.
I have been using this primer occasionally for 3+ years. It is DTM by the way..duh!
Try a quart of this if you are spot or panel painting.

Ask for Junior…888-paint-44here I was thinking high solids would be thicker and low voc the opposite…. :blink:
[quote=”jimmo” post=14607]I was curious about there housebrand stuff. What other primers/paints/clears have you guys used from them? what did ya think?[/quote]
Love using their epoxy under the Hot Rod Satan Black 2 part urethane.
Does good.http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-rat-rod-flat-black-paint-kit.html
Eastwood has good stuff. They relabel Kirker products and I love their epoxy primer…..it’s compatible with my rust treatment and poly primer.
[quote=”jimmo” post=14600]I am just wondering if anyone here has experience with these paints. I know Sherwin Williams has the Dimension line, Dupont is launching one and I think BASF has one in there Limco line. It sounds like there all low end paints and I’d imagine the solvent necessary to use the paints would be crazy fast drying but I’m just assuming. Anybody have input on this? (I’m not planning on making a switch back from water, just more curious).[/quote]
Dimension and Limco do not blend.
They are strictly overall.
My jobber carries BASF and Matrix.
The Matrix is great.
My other jobber carries Dimension….the speed of drying depends on temp of reducer..(sure you know). I have been spraying more Dimension overall the than any other. It covers fine.
However over the last 2-3 yrs I have been moving to Matrix exclusively. That’s where I will be it looks like for good blends anyway.
