Epoxy primer

What type should I pick up to spray before I start body work? Does shirwin williams carry anything worth using? They are right across the street.

I am not sure what final paint company I will be using, but I do plan on doing all body work over the epoxy, and then spraying again with your normal primer, tinted to the colors I want.

are you down to bare metal? if so then i would use an etching primer.

I've always been told Epoxy primer over bare metal. Thats what I did.

Grant, I used DuPont, and I liked it a lot. Its about $100 to the gallong. Probably cheaper outside of California. PPG makes a really nice epoxy primer as well.

etching primer or primer surfacer is made to be the first thing on bare metal......

most epoxy primers have a etch built into them. If you read the pink sheets on them it will say do not spray over a etch primer. Sherwin williams does carry it. thats what i just sprayed my truck in. The body work lays out nice on it and feathers into it real good too. And you can mix it as a sealer too so u can spray a top coat out everything right before u base it if u want.

we use dp 90 a ppg epoxy primer sealer its non sanding. spray it over the panel let dry scuff with red scotch brite and apply plastic filler as needed

add epoxy to that list

alright, so say I go sherwin williams, do the body work and all, go and get some normal primer tinted to my liking....are you guys with primered trucks having moisture/metal problems or not?

i used sherwin williams etching primer on my cali combo. but if your gonna have it in the weather im pretty sure you need to spray sealer on top of the etch. feel free to correct me if im wrong
